[QUOTE="CaylieCat, post: 344364, member: 10200"] Having had a chance to closely inspect our dozens of Inverell sapphires, we discovered that at least one of them should be cuttable- a healthy 15.4ct rough. It is royal blue when view along the crystal (top to bottom), and warm green when viewed side to side. I'm hoping to find a local gemcutter who will make the most of the stone, and can't wait to see how it turns out! We are heading a couple of hours south/west (I think), to spend the Cairns Show long weekend hunting sapphire at Lava Plains, topaz, aquamarine and smoky quartz at O'Brien's Ck (Mt Surprise) and maybe Mt Gibson (Innot Hot Springs). There is a new camping area called Pinnarendi Station Stay located just north of the 40-mile Scrub that we will be using as base camp, so will report on it when we return. [/QUOTE]
