[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 341064, member: 2976"] [img]http://www.australiansapphire.com/images/autumn_glory.jpg[/img] Isn't she absolutely stunning!? I dug my bum off at the Washpool but never found anything remotely like that. Though Col Frewin's brother found a 90 carat green not far up the track from where I was digging. And Col himself showed me the "Dam Lucky Stone". He said to me "if you've got a spare $150 000 you can have this". What a superb stone!! 107 carats, full alexandrite - light green in one direction, orange in the other and pink in artificial light. I did not have a spare $150 000 :) The CQ gemfields have certainly produced some world-class sapphires. The huge Centenary stone, The Black Star of Queensland, The Tomahawk Tiger......I remember the Tomahawk Tiger being on display in the Rubyvale gem gallery when I was a kid. This photo of the Tomahawk Tiger doesn't do it justice, I remember the colours being much more vibrant. [img]http://www.australiansapphire.com/images/Ttiger.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
