[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 253755, member: 2976"] Well Rockhound and I went for a dig there today, wasn't too bad. I don't think there had been as much rain as I had near Gladstone. Plus the deep sand soil had been parched for months, probably just soaked it all up like a big sponge. Even the creeks on the Lowmead road had bugger all more water than last weekend. Not much joy with the crystals though, just one or two little bits that might be usable. Oh well, that's fossicking, there's always next time. The lighter side of Lowmead - and as bloody [b]always[/b], the camera just doesn't see what the eye sees. The real colour does not match either of these photos, it's actually a light Rose de France shade, a light pinkish purple. It's just over a carat, which is a bit bigger than it sounds seeing as quartz is not heavy. Rough stone was found by Rockhound the weekend before last. My favourite design, Jack Rowland's "Arrow".
