hi guys are their any gem stones to be found in the hills around adelaide .no one seems to know.love watching you both doing your thing

It seems that was a very profitable day! How do you decide what stones to go looking for each day? Do you go over an area like this for several days until you feel you have searched all the likely places before going somewhere else, or do you constantly change between opals and sapphires and other things? I would have a hard time ever leaving a stream where a day's search resulted in that many gems.

Hi NightHawkInLight, Prospecting is mostly a weekend activity for us in the areas nearby. Most of these sapphire deposits are fairly substantial and would require a long time to completely dig out. We therefore go back to the same spot for many occasions. Opal, Peridot, Garnet and the other gems we search are not nearby and requires for us to travel further a field, which means planning a trip for a few weeks or months. We set ourselves a limit to how much gems we collect. Our vehicle can only carry so much....lol Thanks for your comment and wish you all the best, Liz

Do we get to see the blue green sapphire cut and finished, ooh please Liz I want to know? I love the way you add facts and info as well, very helpful. One thing I always wondered though. Rubies, Sapphire, are meant to be aluminium oxide or "corundum", I believe emeralds are beryl? Are they the same hardness and the same material and just named differently? Is beryl aluminium oxide?

@LizKreate

5 жыл бұрын

Hi Bradley, I think Beryl is short for beryllium aluminum cyclosilicate with hardness of 8. The different colors are due to trace amounts of different minerals making them Emerald or Aquamarine as an example. And Corundum is aluminium oxide with hardness of 9. Sapphire and Ruby are gem quality corundum with different trace mineral for the color. Cheers, Liz

Black spinels has a hardness of 8 on the moh scale. A scratch test using a piece of quartz or glass (hardness 7), is one indication. The spinel should be able to scratch the glass and leave a mark, but the quartz won't scratch the spinel. Black pinel will leave a glassy look on the surfaced when chipped. I have a photo of a rough, chipped and faceted spinel on my website. Link below. It's the second photo thumbnail. I wish you all the very best of luck and Happy Hunting.

Don't know anything about prospecting for gems in Arkansas but I think I saw a couple of videos on youtube about prospecting for gems/sapphires in Montana. I suggest you do a bit of research as to what gemstones you can find in your area. Good luck with it Sam and thanks again for watching. Cheers, Liz
