[QUOTE="Bunyipchasm, post: 175221, member: 5805"] Hi Phat, I am new to this forum as well, and like you are interested in finding some nice quartz crystal specimens. I have had very small luck at Mount Crawford in the fossicking zone up behind Watts Gully with small single crystals, but nothing much bigger than a 2 - 3cm. I used to work with a bloke who had access to Ashton Quarry a long time ago where one could find spectacular quartz crystal specimens (there are some specimens from that quarry on display in the SA museum). It would be grate to be able to find something like that. I am also interested in fossils and it isn't hard to find fossils along the Murray (there is even a tourist attraction called Shell Hill out near Black Hill between Cambrai and the river that is a large mound of fossilised oyster shell. Many of the road cuttings near the river have fossilised sea urchins and sand dollars. It is pretty cool to spot these - but they are nowhere near the age of, say, a trilobite. That would be very cool to find something like that! Good luck with the fossicking! [/QUOTE]
