Hey everyone. So my mate at work kindly gave me a couple of bags of gravel from a Glen Innes Sapphire mine he bought near a decade ago. I've classified one bag down into 1/4", 1/8" and concentrate and found 3 yellowish sapphires out of the larger stuff, ones got a bit of pink in it and a few little blue shards. Plus a piece of pyrite once I can post pics up I'll show the little beauties off.
I have a couple of questions if anyone would be kind enough to answer.
1st: How can I be sure they're sapphires?
2nd: Is it possible there might be fine gold dust in the concentrate?
3rd: Will running the material through a sluice seperate the gems from the gravel?
Cheers in advance
