Stones with a story

Sapphires are part of our Australian heritage and are internationally recognised amongst the world’s most precious gemstones. Apart from their remarkable physical attributes, the stone is appreciated for holding excellent metaphysical properties. It will help in bringing good health, wealth, prosperity, strengthen personal relationships and induce understanding in personal relations.

Hence, all these characteristics of the amazing sapphire make it the utmost choice for consideration as the best gift for someone special.

It is time to discover the perfect gift to remind the extraordinary person in your life just loved they are, and whether you are gifting a stunning keepsake, or mining or fossicking experience, the Sapphire Gemfields have you covered. 

Located just 45 minutes west of Emerald, the Sapphire Gemfields are home to one of the world’s largest sapphire fields. The small settlements of Anakie, Rubyvale, Sapphire and Willows Gemfields are teeming with semi-precious stones of all shapes and sizes including sapphires and ruby’s – you just have to know where to look!
