[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 158575, member: 2976"] Gday Rotor - you're a lucky bugger to have something like that on on your place. I believe that amethyst, smokey, citrine and clear quartz crystals occur in pockets here and there around the Miriam Vale - Lowmead area but the Clarke road site is the only one open to the public. Still some stuff there but I've never seen anything like the one behind the bar in the Lowmead pub. It just gets me down no end to think that our region probably contains gemmy treasures dotted all over the place but there is no access to any of them. The geology is the right kind with great granite masses dominating our landscape and extinct volcanoes dotted about the place here and there. Had you heard that small, non-gem quality sapphires have been found on gravel banks in the Boyne river? My guess is that Castletower or perhaps some other igneous formations in the Boyne valley are probably the source. [/QUOTE]
