A lesson in panning for sapphires!
A focused and determined fossicker! Sapphires were first reported in the Gemfields in the 1870's and commercial mining had begun by 1890. It declined after 1935 but the 1960's began a new phase with tourism, recreational mining and fossicking becoming popular.
Torchlight emphasizes the myriad of sapphire colours found!
