[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 288646, member: 2976"] From the geological data provided in comment number 26 in this thread... These areas are relatively close together and the interesting thing is the difference in interesting things produced by these related (is that right or wrong?) volcanic events. Clermont is a gold mining district a little to the north of Emerald - I have not heard of any gemstones coming from there (happy to be corrected). Emerald is a short distance from the Anakie field, one of the worlds major sapphire producing areas. Zircons and pleonaste are also abundant. Springsure in CQ is a short distance south of Emerald - labradorite and opalized wood are found there. Gold is found at the Anakie field but nothing like the quantities at Clermont. Sapphires, zircons and spinel are seemingly absent from Springsure, as labrodorite and opalized wood are from the Anakie field. Pretty interesting. [/QUOTE]
