[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 163368, member: 487"] Hey Terry, a lot of rivers and streams between the Shoalhaven and the Queensland border contain Sapphires or some other gemstones but not many places are renowned as good, where I mean good gem quality, if gems are not of good quality they are just stones and not gems. In my opinion stick to the renowned gem bearing areas and you'll do better than trying other way less productive areas. There are good Sapphires at Grabben Gullen and Oberon but still not enough to get me regularly to those places, I save up my moolah and head to places like the New England area where I know the pickings are more plentiful. When you think that only say one in every 20-50 stones is a special stone really worth cutting you want maximise chances. [/QUOTE]
