[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 85231, member: 487"] The best advice I can give with sieving is watch WalnLiz vids on looking for Sapphires, they go into some pretty good detail, there really is not much to sieving but you need to do it quite vigorously to get the Sapphires to the bottom, don't put too much wash in and not too little either, you'll work out the right amount. Using a 1/2 inch classifying sieve is best though as everything in the 1/4 inch will be much more uniform and easier to sort through after flipping. Pretty rare to find a Sapph bigger than 1/2 inch but still check for them. [/QUOTE]
