[@itsadventureash]

QLD ones are on my bucket list for sure! Hopefully at some point 👌

[@chloe.bbbbbbb]

Hey, do you ever go up north around the gold coast area? I'm located in Brisbane and would love to make fossicking friends, if you're interested

[@itsadventureash]

I sure do! Do you know some good spots? 🙂

[@stratagemsgemart]

HI Ash, nice video feel free to send me a msg I know a few spots you can check out and also a few other tips. the reddish gems are most probably Zircon are naturally found in a wide colour range such as greens, blues, orange, reds, yellow and clear they are heat sensitive. when it comes to colour if u heat one up on the stove element or hold a lighter to it it will change from red to orange then yellow eventually turning clear. some High Zircon are heated in a special low oxygen environment the heating of the stones will result in a blue Zircon like seen in the Cambodian and recently some African zircons

[@itsadventureash]

Thanks mate! That’s some super interesting insights - I don’t think I’ll be hearing them up but that’s amazing information to understand :) I’m still learning so I’m always happy for guru inputs

[@desgray5420]

Our some of our Australian zircon heats blue too

[@goingwalkabout6282]

Nice video, was awesome to see your excitement finding that blue sapphire. Just out of curiosity though, how do you know that is red topaz?

[@itsadventureash]

I’m not too sure honestly! That’s why I said it was a guess in the video :) I’m going to head to a lapidary club to ask soon though

[@goingwalkabout6282]

@Adventure Ash if you have scales you can always do an sg test, I've just never seen red topaz from that area so was curious. Awesome video though

[@hollynoelleAbductedUfologist]

Hi, Ash..round about 58 seconds there is something strange walking in the far backround to Your left..in the field and goes past that big tree stand..WTF is THAT????

[@itsadventureash]

👀

[@WiR3DGaMiNG]

lol O_O wtf

[@olij8602]

Omg

[@olij8602]

I keep watching to try and figure it out. I was inspired to fossick here. But now I’m scared. Mama. 😂

[@chezziebruce5624]

It’s a person. You’ll see later in the video that Ash does have someone else with her, perhaps it is that person.

[@brendanbirchall5757]

Can go with you

[@sierrahjmartinez6703]

Australia has a fly problem it seems

[@itsadventureash]

There are usually a lot of flies when there are cattle in the paddocks - so totally normal out here :)
