[QUOTE="Daggy, post: 298969, member: 9035"] Got some of our best amethyst this morning, perfect crystals with no cracks but quite small. We found some nice big rough pieces and plenty of chips. Still can't find any good smokey and only found one bit of citrine with lots of cracks. I was ready to give up on our hole, all the pockets seemed to have run out but when I started to collapse the undercuts out popped a lump of crystal (double terminated) the size of a childs fist, it's a mix of every colour quartz but it isn't very pretty. Looks like we'll keep going with this hole for a bit longer. The humidity today was incredible, the air temp was 28 degrees but with no wind around I was literally drenched and when it rained you couldn't notice. It didn't see any other wheel tracks at the fossicking area but someone had walked all around the place yesterday (the diggings were very fresh) and dug six inch holes all over the place and dug in other peoples overburden. Strange! I've given up on the photos, they look like crap compared to everyone else's, don't know If it's me or the camera settings but I'm not a photographers ****hole. Daggy [/QUOTE]
