Here's a close up shot of a group of uncuttable tiny sapphire grains which I managed to fossick out of SB over a period.

I go there from time to time however still working towards "finding the big one."

 

[Colin&Lee]

Does anyone know where I can get a valuation on an opal specimen?

 

[SneakyCuttlefish]

Managed to find this little fella. Very unusual little specimen.

I have been digging into a quartz vein at the bottom of a 2 meter hole lately. The stone broke in half when I cracked off the chunk of quartz. It had a good 4 sided formation and had a very nice blue colour. I believe it is fluorite. Not very clear inside but still very exciting to stumble upon.

dose it glow in the dark after black light

 

[SneakyCuttlefish]

I didn't have one to test it at the time. Gave it to a young boy who was out digging for his first time.

Not the biggest sapphire but I am happy with it... Just need to work out if I should send it overseas to get cut or to find someone here....

 

[Sodabowski]

I wouldn't have such a big and clean stone cut overseas mate! They would make a mess, since it's dark you definitely need an expert with a pro faceting machine, not a jamb-pegger!
