Are Australian sapphires really worth anything?

[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 175202, member: 487"] Glad it's on the to do list but yeah a 6 hour drive is a long drive, would be great to detect a nug of it regardless. The Thais buy a lot of stones from one of the places Barney and myself go, you're totally right, plenty of Aussie stones are sold off as Ceylon, which is a real pity. I think we have the best coloured stones on the planet. Can't get a better Blue than those pics of yours and mine in my opinion. So yeah supply must outstrip production from Ceylon, lol. Can feel the Sapphire fever building, only got one trip in last Summer, hoping for a few extra trips this season. :) [/QUOTE]
