New to prospecting, anyone know sapphires?

[Benosan1]

Glad to be part of the group and look forward to contributing. Im in Perth WA but have just cut my teeth looking for sapphire in Tasmania. Was wondering if someone with more expertise on sapphire ID can help me out with a stone I found

Two blurry photos repeated four times? :/

Better photos and a SG would help

A lump of Quartz I think?. Def NOT a Sapphire... Better pics are needed and a SG(specific gravity) test should be done...

Looks like some form of agate to me.

Not sapphire not quartz but I'm not an expert.

Yeah I would guess agate too.

Whilst not all agate has banding this looks more like quartz to me. Possibly may help if you mentioned where it was found.

Weld river in Tasmania- lots of sapphire, topaz, zircon, etc

Could possibly be dirty yellow topaz. Got this one up in that area.

After the tumbler.

Seen a bit of low grade stuff like this from that area in colours from clear to yellow to grey.

Solved- looks like its chalcedony(agate)
