About Sapphire
Sapphire is a rural locality in the New England and North West region of New South Wales, about 471 kilometres from Sydney. The area is part of the historic New England sapphire fields, where gem-quality sapphires have been mined from alluvial gravels associated with Tertiary alkali basalt volcanism since the 19th century.
