Well took the family out to the diggings again today and we had an absolute blast, non stop nice pieces one after another I didnt wanna leave lol. Next weekend ill be back out with bells on, might see yas there.
That clear one looks like it would facet a nice stone of a similar colour to the triangle in the above photos. Wishin' I was heading down there right now but I can't this weekend or the next
And he was digging just a few metres away from where I pulled out a few little ones. Anyway, proof that big crystals can be found at Lowmead
I actually did find what I was after, the shade of purple I haven't found for quite a while. It isn't the light lavender or Rose de France shade, it isn't that dark smoky purple, it's just a nice bright mid-purple. I think it will cut a small stone. I'll put a photo up a later, at the risk of getting crystal envy
