your on fire spud well done I was at gg today and an echidna came into my hole and stayed with me for about 2 hours he was my best find :lol:

awesome

did you say hello and help him dig ?

bewdiful when elements of nature can sit down and trust a human bean like that

its happened a few times for me when i sit in the bush and meditate under the sun , i get lizards and birds that will come up close for a look , maybe they feel the peace

Got me thinking, yes.

It is nice when they don't fit into a single photo, looks like you are on the right spot there Varts.

 

[Varts]

Each stone has a story ,it's a pity they can't talk mate

 

[Spud]

nice work Varts, looks like you must have spent a fair bit of time picking those out!

 

[Varts]

Yeah spud,enjoyable stress free hours,

 

[Spud]

Decided to separate some of my coloured stones. I think theres a mix of zircons and something else in there lol any ideas? I love the kinnda frosty white one on the top as well as the tiny clear one near my pen tip but unsure what they are? as far as i can tell they are not quartz

 

[Dughug]

topaz ? ? ?

 

[Heatho]

Nice haul Varts, Inverell area? Any nice cutters in there?

 

[Heatho]

Hey Spud, frosty one is probably Topaz, really clear one probably a Zircon as they can be really clear sometimes or really clear Topaz. Diamonds are found at GG also but..... extremely rare though.

 

[richo966]

and small as well

 

[Spud]

booooo everything's so small LOL

A few interesting specimen shots of some tiny gems still in the basalt( felsic i think) host, collected from barrington. We are exploring the alluvial and hard rock up there looking for new spots away from the common areas to dig in ernest come spring/summer.
These all collected from the magmatic suit , not the metamorphic suit ( Barrington has both a magmatic gem suit and metamorphic gem suit)
