[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 404121, member: 2976"] Shame I've never made it to O'Briens creek for a good digging session (I have been there once but it was only a quick look and I never had the chance to dig). Mount Gibson is closer to the in-laws place so that's where I've always gone. Most of what I've found there has been colourless, a few very pale ice blues (a couple were quite nice) but a bloke I met there who told me he digs there regularly showed me some large, light brown crystals he said came from the "Patricia" section. The colour was something like that of smoky quartz but the shape of the topaz crystal was unmistakable. I found a reasonable number of small, very pale gold crystals there - I'd like to think that deeper gold ones exist in the area somewhere :) [/QUOTE]
