[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 403364, member: 2976"] Hi EmilyKate. My sapphire fossicking experience is limited to Queensland so I'm not sure about how wash distribution might work elsewhere but sapphires and especially zircons both have a high specific gravity and are heavy for there size, causing them to accumulate in low-lying spots. Around boulders and rocks bars in the creeks and gullies are good spots to scrape out and run through a sieve. [/QUOTE]
