hi Wal

Just wondering if you have any information on what to look for when digging for amethyst or topaz or even clear quartz?

My emails [email address removed as per forum rules, please add it to your profile - Nugget] I would love some feedback.

Ive watched a few of your videos but didn't quite get an in depth knowledge on what to look for.

look forward to hearing from you

G 'day Heath,

Can be a fairly lengthy subject as it varies in each area. Some of the quartz varieties form on plates and in some areas as individual crystals and other areas inside geodes. Most of your best Amethyst will in the form of geodes and most of these require a far bit of digging.

Clear quartz is by far the easiest to locate and is quite abundant over a large area.

Topaz is generally associated with river wash and again only in certain areas close to where they were formed. They are very often associated with areas that also produced Tin and are quite often found in tailings from the old Tin miners.

As soon as you reach 10 posts Heath, can i suggest you send me a PM with details of your local area, and i will do my best to help you out.....

Cheers Wal :)
