The results of Katrina and I, after a couple of hours at GG. We are both pretty new to sapphiring and realise this isn't a gigantic haul, but we were happy with the results and had alot of fun. We aren't quite sure what the Olive coloured stones are, perhaps somebody can shed some light on it? They look like Spinel in the shade.

We enjoyed meeting everybody that stopped by to say hello, including a couple of forum members. But an especially big thanks to Colin & his lovely partner Lee, it was great to meet you both and your help was incredible. Hope you had a great day with alot of luck!

Richo, how did you go yesterday? Good to meet you and the missus. I don't think that sun could of been any stronger if it wanted to, invisible zinc didn't even save my shoulders. What's up stream like? I've not been up there yet.
 
From GG Creek, Zircon Valley :D
