We visited the Sapphire fields at Sapphire and Rubyvale 44 kms west of Emerald. We took a mine tour with a very funny lady called Fran, she said to live here you need to drink alot, she said she was a drunk. We thought she might smoke a little something also. She was very entertaining we all enjoyed the tour 15 metres down and the temp is a very nice 25 degrees day and night. We then went to Pat's Gems where Trice & Mike did a little panning and yes lucky Potters found a very nice Zircon worth $30.00. Trice was very proud of her find. Emerald is quite a big town and we have found everyone very friendly.
