There are many locations across Australia where crystals can be found however they are not as easy to source as you might think ... A large amount of Australian crystals actually get exported overseas! Our list of locations below is a work in progress and will be continually updated. If you are interested in fossicking for crystals in Australia, it is advisable to find out if you need a permit before visiting, most of these areas are privately owned.
