On our first day in the Gemfields we joined a tour of a local underground sapphire mine, turned tourist tour. Our tour guide Matt showed us all the different sized tunnels, the natural sapphires still in the walls and the shafts to the surface. We learned about the equipment that used to use verses now. It was really interesting and set us up to have a go ourselves.
