Fossicking Options Include:

  • Joining our Topaz Tour to our mining claim for a morning of fun and excitement when you find some gem-stones 
  • Buy or Hire Equipment and licence and ‘Go It Alone’ with a mud-map.
  • Pick up plenty of information about the 7 Fossicking areas within 250K of Mt Surprise Gems.

At the shop there is a huge range of faceted gems, rough material and gifts to buy.

Watch the precision of a facetor as he creates the style and cut to show off the quality of the gems. Arrange to have a gem faceted.
