  • She is one very lucky girl. First time in Australia, Lisa and her Father are on a prospecting holiday trip from Germany. We met them at Agate Creek, Queensland looking for agates and offered to show them around the Topaz field in Mt. Surprise, Queensland.

    A 154 Carat Lemon yellow Topaz on eBay is selling right now for $9.78.... I guess it depends on demand, but I still think it is very exciting its all about the hunt and finding beautiful rocks and gem stones = A FANTASTIC DAY

    • @richardhumphrys7907

      Topaz - It’s such an underrated gem - 8 on the Moh’s scale and Fair to Good on the wear and tear scale.

    • @Djpetestone

      154 carat topaz on eBay for 9.78 is probably lab grown I would think!

      I'm afraid your googling is a bit off. Search eBay for Australian rough topaz. That thing is worth more like 200-300 AUD, if it's free from defects and facetable. Still a great find though, good for her!

    I found just rough quarts it’s a transparent milk colour wich is everywhere. However several pieces I found have very small blue crystals they can only be seen with a magnifying glass but something I’m keen to learn what they are ? But in Southern WA. WOW WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF TOPAS. 😊

    • @LizKreate
      @LizKreate  Před měsícem

      Blue quartz is called Celestite. Not sure if that's what you have. May I suggest taking it to a Lapidary Groups or Club in your area. They'd might have a better idea of what it is. Cheers🥰

      You can join a Lapidary or Gem CLUB in your area. Most of them have field trips that you can go with like minded people. Some places also have fossicking tours that you pay to take you or Tag along trips. Just have to do a bit of research on the online.

    Hi. Liz. I'm having a problem with my dremel rotary tool, the installing of the accessory part itself will not stay in place when it's turning, if i turn it to 5 speed, the diamond Blade will fly right off and becoming a deadly spinning blade helicopter, it's got me on my Neck right on a jugular vein, thankfully it didn't cut me, it just Bounced off, so I'm very Lucky I didn't bleed at all.

    • @LizKreate

      Hi Nicholas, Depends on what model of dremel rotary tool you have but most of them have a button on the body of the unit that you press down as you tighten the end where the accessory or bit is. I hope this helps. Cheers, Liz
