Rocks? Minerals? Gemstones? What’s the difference?!

Here in the Central Highlands, we have an incredible and very important tourist site… The Gemfields! Here we can fossick for all sorts of gemstones for hours, to our heart’s desire.

Emeralds, sapphires, zircons, rubies… ever wondered how these gemstones form? Join us in learning all about the formation of different rocks and minerals and investigate their differences through Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR). Let’s rock on with this five-week introduction to geology program.
