I shall pull out the camera in the morning and post a few pics but I don`t have any the size that Peter has..
I love going to Minerama at Glen Innes.. thou I missed last years .
I usually get some nice stuff from some bushies from Torrington!
cheers
MrB, you will recognize one if you see it. I found my first tektite in WA while metal detecting and there was plenty of iron stone pebbles around it and I had to pick it up for a closer look and on turning it over seeing those flow lines and ridges I knew what I had!
The last trip my wife kept bringing me every dark stone she found which I told her to do and after a hundred or so there was a tektite and a nice core it is..
cheers Gary

Yes Gary, the Rocky River holds some tektites, the Rocky is an extension of the Gwydir river....as for Torrington it's a gem hunters haven!!!
As for Minerama, last years was not as good as the year before, there were more jewellery items being sold than crystals or faceting rough....
