[QUOTE="Golden Tiger, post: 82438, member: 1104"] Zircons, all except the one on the left which looks like quarts. I imagine there were plenty more little ones left in the cons? Sapphires are far and few between. Normally they are blueish gray, but from other creeks in the area (Jim Crow Creek which is on the banned list) you can get green sapphires. I've searched Daylesford high and low looking for sapphires and the biggest one i have found is a clear royal blue weighing in at .2 of a carat. Ruby's are not typically found in Daylesford but have been known to occur in surrounding areas. (But they still elude me) [/QUOTE]
