[QUOTE="aussiefarmer, post: 302961, member: 5729"] Feel free to tell me im lazy and go and do my own research ;) Are sapphires ever found at the source or only in creek situations ? Is there a host rock ? I have alwaysi found spinal when i get saphs Are they from basalt , quarts or slate country ? I am ruling out granit as theres none in the catchment of my honey hole. Is it possible they are formed deep below and the springs bring them up ? As the best spots for me are usually 50 to 100 yards below wet areas. 95% of my finds are broken and i move upstream they remain broken until i cant find anymore. If broken spinal was worth something i would be rich its in greater quantities than black sand at oallen :lol: Even a link to a easy read that answers all these questions and more would be great.
