Victorian Sapphires

[Manficat]

Last weekend I went to a creek, and after a hard day's panning I found a single, rice sized green sapphire. I've heard good things about Morrisons and Steiglitz, where I could hopefully find more than I did. Has anyone been to these places before, and found (or not found) sapphires?
Thanks,

Many, many years ago, my club used to go to Morrisons regularly, not for sapphires but a very good quality red/brown/yellow and grey chert. I remember it used to polish very well, but couldn't find the area we went now.

there are small sapphires and zircons in reedy crk eldorado not usually of cutting size size there is small cuttable sapphires and zircons near mansfield

Morrisons used to be a pretty isolated out of the way place, we went there a couple of years back and its all hobby farms, there's none of the Chert left though. The Chert and probably the Sapphires came out of deep lead Gold mines.
We could see potholes where people had obviously been digging for Sapphires in the creek but we didn't have sieves so left them all for somebody else. We went on to Anglesea and got a few lumps of nice blue Vivianite from Demons bluff.

I've been to demons bluff twice now and found nothing. It sounds like Morrisons has been fished out a bit now. I'll probably try it anyway. How about sapphires in the Dandenong region?

That's a first for me! I originally came from Dandenong and lived not far from the Dandenong Creek. I couldn't imagine anything coming out of there, no gravel beds that I can remember and from Clow Street bridge downstream, is all concrete drains down to the bay. If, however, you mean The Dandenongs, then yes, there are sapphires, generally small ones and the places I fossicked are now National Park, underwater or on private property.
