Welcome to Queensland

Gem Fields

The Gem Fields are a popular winter destination for southerners seeking to escape the winter chills for the wonderful Queensland climate.  Townships like Emerald, Sapphire, and Rubyvale are sure to have wonderful gemstones hidden in the surrounding earth.

You can try your hand at fossicking to find that special gem – dig at one of the nominated fossicking areas, buy a bucket of wash (the digging has been done for you) or go ‘specking’, look for a likely rock on the surface while walking through the fields. Go on a fossicking tour and get advice from the experts – however you decide to try your hand at finding a gemstone you will have fun. 

This region has its own rugged beauty, fascinating history and friendly hospitality.  If you don’t fancy fossicking, visit one of the many Gem Galleries for a look, better still, buy that souvenir to take home.
