G'day, I'm new to this forum and I'm looking to do a few small day trips to ballarat in search of facetable sized gemstones. I've heard some talk about amethyst, garnet, citrine, sapphire, coloured quartz, topaz, emerald and also zircons. Does anyone have any ideas of where a beginner, like myself could possibly find some decent sized stones to work with? Any specific creeks or places I should be looking at targeting? Thanks
