Thanking you all in advance.

Hi Colin, we live in Inverell NSW and there is lots of fossicking around here, for Sapphires, clear and smoky quartz, tourmaline, jasper to name a few. It is toooooo cold to fossick for us here lol I am too busy sitting in front of my gas heater lol
I wish you all the best of luck. I wouldn't know where to start looking for rocks with valuable gems within. I do have a nice Rubyvale sapphire set with Kimberley diamonds. The sapphire was a gift, I designed the setting and had it made in Broome. Now about these gems, where do I start? I'd really like to have a go at it some time.

It is a huge amount of fun CG and I have books and books on what to look for when the gem is in the raw state. We have done heaps of fossicking around here over the past 8 years. Our home is filled with crystals lol.
We were at Glenelva two years ago we got more sapphires panning at Pat's gems at Sapphire
Oh nice Cannylass. To look at a sapphire in its raw state is amazing as it looks like rock and then when you see it cut and polished you would never guess where it came from.
