[QUOTE="Chiron52, post: 434492, member: 10176"] I sometimes think about the sapphire digging at Sapphire Bend. If, like I have, you could see how many times over the years the forest had been logged, the stumps pulled out and burned, then the whole area replanted, you got to wonder how there can be any sapphire/gravel layers left at all. I also wonder if in the process of pulling the tree stumps out of the ground, whether the sapphire bearing gravels have been disturbed to the point that there could be sapphires at any level - from the top down. I did find this pretty red thing at SB when I was there last year. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/10176/1534931598_1511091935_p1000415b.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
