Description

The Bobby Dazzler Mine Rubyvale is a fossicking site where visitors can collect local precious stones. It also offers underground mine tours into a gem mine. Rubyvale, as the name says is located in the Sapphire Gemfields. The village has gem cutters, jewellers, a pub, cafés, general store, service station and accommodation providers. But while there are numerous fossicking sites, this is one of only two underground mine tours in the area. Unfortunately they moved their website to facebook, so there is no actual information available.
