We are miners of Gemstone in Western Australia, specializing in Marra Mamba Tiger Eye mined from our own lease (claim) on the Nammuldi Ridge near Mt Brockman in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. A rare piece of land, one of only a few leases left producing Marra Mamba Tiger Eye. Marra Mamba Tiger Eye is widely regarded as the "Rolls Royce" of Tiger Eye. Often sandwiched between layers of Hematite and Magnetite, with red, yellow, and green Jaspers making it an extremely attractive Gemstone. We also search and fossick for other Gemstones and specimens while prospecting, and in particular we are looking for Septarian nodules or concretions. These rare specimens are only found in certain geological settings of the Pilbara.
Unearthing these rare and spectacular specimens is exciting. They were created by one of the most ancient and primitive lifeforms, a microbe called Archaea. These have been dated as being between 2.9 billion to 3 billion years old in published peer reviewed scientific research papers. The Pilbara Craton is geologically one of the oldest known places on the planet, the age is estimated at 2 .7 - 3.8 billion years old maybe older.
2026 is now well under way and National Gemboree in Nambour Queensland at Easter is over and it was a great success by all accounts. Thank you to the many customers who attended my stall, I hope you are happy with your purchases. We will now head back into NSW to Lismore for the Gem show there on 16 & 17 May . As usual we will be bringing polished slabs, rough and some new spheres as well Towers and the Septarian nodules that are so popular. Come along and support grass roots Gemstone collecting and Lapidary. We have some of the most rare, fascinating and exciting Gemstones in the world so come and see it for yourself.
The mining season is approaching fast, and it is getting exciting to think what might be found this year!!! But have got to hope the price of diesel drops some before that happens or it will be a very expensive venture
