[QUOTE="SneakyCuttlefish, post: 325910, member: 3340"] Now, calcite is the stuff you want to find. All kinds of goodies are found in calcite deposits. Spinels, rubies, garnets etc. The true, unheated Vietnamese blue spinels are found in calcite over there. There's a calcite deposit on the Atherton Tablelands, about 30ft down a pit that certain old timers claim perfectly formed light pink dodecahedral garnets where found by the bucket load. Found a historical document in a library that said the same thing too but that one was from back in the 1800's. Pit was abandoned once they hit the calcite as there was no more tin to be won. Calcite is where the fun is at. [/QUOTE]
