[QUOTE="Nicko98, post: 434524, member: 8992"] As far as Im aware, the billy boulders at sapphire bend are just water worn boulders of either granite or basalt - leaning towards basalt, that lie in the wash layer. They vary quite a bit In size, ranging from the size of your fist to boulders the diameter of a car Tyre. Ive found sapphires on the surface of the ground and all through the wash, from just below the dirt overburden to the clay base. My first few bits of blue came from looking through others quarter inch sieve tailings at the wash dam. [/QUOTE]
