[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 417900, member: 1916"] The ones I have found have been in geode-like voids or embedded in the matrix of the rock. Most of the geode stones are weathered but there is the odd one or two large crystals that pluck away. I havent extracted one from the host rock yet but have a couple that are quite heavily speckled and I will finely slice at some day to see if I can get one to act as a window in the native rock. Thinking a cabbed pendant with central peridot feature would look cool. I had intended sieving the creek below the spot I found my last lot but heavy rain cut short the trip. Cant see why they would not have washed down and accumulated. Will have to keep a look out for those dinosaur poo-shaped bombs they get down in Mortlake, would be nice if similar are to be found. I like the thought of finding one the size of a car. [/QUOTE]
