Rod and I chat about this fabulous collection of dogtooth sapphires from one of our long-time mining friends, collected over many years of mining at the Central Queensland Gemfields

Rod presents some fabulous new stock.

Rod gives an update about the mining progress at Bedford Hill

We sell these calibrated brilliant sapphires to designer makers and the wholesale market. The sizes start at 2mm and go to 5.75mm in graduations of .25mm. We then sort them into three colour palettes. We are very particular about the cutting quality and only cut with a diamond pavilion (no step cutting). All the stock is eye clean. We also cut other shapes however, these are the most popular.

Rod explains the various soil levels in the mine.
