Sorry about that. Seems that we had a bug in the system that would not allow me to lodge posts. Hope all is sorted now.
The last few days here at the Willows Gemfields has been quite interesting. as i am known for my understatements, you will know exactly what I mean. this fossicking caper has quite a system to it. firstly, you must locate an area to dig. The choosing of the area is critical as it must have a number of components that already indicate the presence of sapphires. sapphires were created by volcanic eruption and were effectively spat out along with other molten rock and some of which formed into crystals of sapphire, some into crystals of quartz but mostly it was molten rock. volcanic eruptions being what they are, quite violent and the effect would have been felt over several kilometres. The landscape today however, does not necessarily indicate what the area was like then, so where rivers of this molten stuff flowed, may well be hills today as is the case where we are digging. Stay tuned
