Over the weekend B and I we were at the Arahura River again which is nearer to Hokitika than Greymouth. Most of you probably know I am a bit of a rock nerd and so I like to explore places for new things.
These are similar to the ankle high gumboots I bought recently but with a different colour and pattern on them so I was able to step in the river a wee bit as we walked across.
And this is the end result of what I found - I think there are a couple of bits of possible Pounamu in this.

Lovely collection of rocks!
Your rock hunting sounds like fun and you have found an intriguing mixture of colours there.
I thought you might have some pounamu in their as well, regardless, it's a nice collection of stones.
Rocks are fascinating!
I have a few groups of souvenirs sitting around here!
Your rock hunting adventure sounds delightful.
The photo you took is beautiful, and your gumboots look perfect for exploring.
Happy Monday, Amy!
These rocks look so fascinating
The rocks look indeed great and those gumboots too. The shape some kind of specialty from Australia if I am correct.
An interesting variety you found there!
I'm not a rock collector although my brother nearly filled his house with them! I do have some very special ones though. Wendy, of my New Zealand family, when they were staying recently collected a lot from the shore below my house. Of course they are still here and I suppose I'll just have to return them to the shore.
I love hearing the rushing water.
Sounds like another great day! Thank you for sharing.
I've collected rocks through the years and still have a small collection of them.
Love your gumboots. Hope there was some poinamu. What a find
YOur third photo is stunnging. Great shot #ThruMyLens
