[QUOTE="Thanksun, post: 659461, member: 23430"] [B]I travelled far on the weekend stopping by spots with no luck finding the right one initially. That afternoon I made it to Yonder and began some fossicking, I started with a sample of a few handfuls and found my first what I think is pink sapphire in a 1/8 sieve. Eventually I pulled out the gold pan and found that a lot of smaller gems had passed through. I found dark green and see through gems I believe are peridot, due to the blue steel rocks abundant with peridot. One was extra large and almost looks like green topaz/sapphire to me but I'm unsure. 3 pieces were orange and I'm unsure of identity. I found 1 small blue sapphire. A dozen of what looks red zircon, and ofcourse a table spoon of pink sapphires. [/B] There were also lots of specks of flake gold and I think I found some hexagonal pieces but I'm thinking they could be Mica. Any help to confirm IDs appreciated. [/QUOTE]
