We were lucky enough to get a private astronomy tour while we were staying at the motel and it was just fantastic. The host was knowledgable and friendly and pointed out some really interesting stuff. If you are looking for something to do at night in Rubyvale this has to be the winner.

Australian Tourism Award winning Rubyvale Gem Gallery is a small family business established in 1988, and now situated in their brand new shop on Main Street in Rubyvale. For over 40 years Peter Brown has been mining and cutting the local sapphires, and setting them in uniquely designed jewellery. He is recognised as a sapphire specialist and one of the best gem cutters on the Gemfields today.

My sister and her husband took me to Rubyvale. In the past she had bought a sapphire ring from The Rubyvale Gem Gallery. It is housed in a beautiful building and I was quite taken with the sapphire jewellery. You think sapphires are blue? Visit this place to learn about sapphires, the owner, Peter, is passionate about sapphires and took time to explain the various sapphires, fascinating.He owns a sapphire mine, and his son Tyler helps him with that part of the business. His son Mitch assists him in the Gem Gallery, very easy to talk to, knowledgeable, just as passionate as his dad, and no rushing the customer. All very much professionals in their field. (My sister bought another sapphire/diamond ring!) You can watch a short video about the history of the mine and the Gem Gallery.

We make a underground tour and buy a bucket dirt for self wash. Our lovely guide Lisa did a fantastic job and it was a very interesting morning. We would do again and recommend this place highly. They have beautiful stones and jewellery as well. Thank you!
