[QUOTE="Ben78, post: 50951, member: 206"] Gemstones that aren't quartz based aren't usually directly associated with quartz - you may find Quartz crystals, Citrine, Amethyst, Tourmaline and Smoky Quartz though. The other gemstones such as Corundum types (Sapphie Ruby Emerald etc) and Zircons are dragged from the earth's crust to the surface through various volcanic activity. Head into the creeks you are interested in and dig a crevice out, pan it off slowly and carefully then if you don't immediately see gold and gems in the pan check the cons out using a loupe - a loupe will show gold and gemstones in a pan easily.
