Blue Hollow Mine
We have recovered from the flood and are open for business.
Peter and Debbie Chalmers welcome you to the sapphire fields of Central
Queensland, Australia. Our mine is located near Sapphire, on the eastern
side of the "Big Bessie" fossicking area. Using the links (to the left) you
will be able to find out everything you need to know about fossicking for
sapphires and zircons at the Gemfields, see some of the truly Australian
gemstones mined and faceted at Blue Hollow Mine that we have for sale in our
Jewellery Shop, learn about sapphires, our local events and history, wildlife in the
area and much more. If you have a particular area of interest you would like
to know about, use our on-site search facility.
Sapphire is approx. 950km, by road, from Brisbane. (Capital city of
Queensland, Australia)
To visit the Gemfields, follow the highway up
the east coast from Brisbane to Rockhampton, then the Capricorn Highway west
from Rockhampton to the Anakie intersection (42km west of Emerald). Sapphire
is 10km to the north.
To make this site as informative and interesting as possible, if you have
