[QUOTE="LesleyRuan, post: 672206, member: 25210"] Hi everyone - I hope it's OK for me to be here as I live in the UK. However, in 2008/9 my husband and I did a year long Big Trip around Oz in a converted Toyota Coaster. Towards the end of our trip we spent several days in Rubyvale, visiting Willy's Wash to search of sapphires, rubies etc. We did find quite a few small chips of sapphire, zircon and ruby, but the highlight of our stay was a couple of sapphire bombs one of which was 132 carats. We had it cut in half and were pointed in the direction of a lady staying at the campsite in Sapphire who did wire-wrapping. She made both halves of the bomb into pendants, which I regularly wear - always reminding me of our visit to the gemfields. Lesley, Bedfordshire, UK [/QUOTE]
