Quartz crystals occur in the county of Dampier near the head of Tuross River 13 miles east-southeast from Countegany and about 5 miles east-southeast from Tuross Post Office. The presence of small quartz crystals in this locality has been known to Mr. L.W. Schaeffer of Tuross for many years, but only recently has he found larger crystals and undertaken more systematic prospecting. This report comprises notes on the quartz crystals, following an examination of the locality, 1944.
