[QUOTE="Guest, post: 89847"] Diamonds have been found in the Turon but near Bald Hill @ Hill End. Diamond colours found at two mile flat near the Cudgegong River where described as , "passing from perfectly water-clear through various shades of yellow, pale green, and brown to almost black; a twinned octahedron of a beautiful dark-green colour was once found". In 1851 Government geologist (Stuchbury) also reported seeing finely crystallized diamond from the Turon. [url]http://www.minelinks.com/alluvial/diamondGeology43.html[/url] Wouldn't surprise me if there are other gems if diamond has been found in the area. The diamonds in the Cudgegong were associated with gold, topaz, sapphire, ruby etc. Someone with more gem knowledge may be able to tell more if you can get the picture to load? [/QUOTE]
