Hi Curran
Sapphire on the Palmer not so much, however the Jordan creek Gold fields (up the Johnson/ Gilbert town /Innis fail) was renown as a sub basaltic lead which produced both gold and gemstones.

Regards Nigel.

I'm aware of the innisfail sapphires but I'm learning from some locals u here that there's a lot things to dig in fnq that I can't find info on the net about
