The Gemfields
What a great place, though primitive. There does not seem to be any building codes here.
Rubyvale seems to be the place for tourists to visit the mines and go fossicking.
Some of the wild life, not so wild they seem to be very used to people
This is the jewellery shop and the entrance to the mine tour
Lovely little cafe outside
Some of the tools used
This mine went down 15 meters
This metal bucket was used to lift the dirt to the surface through the small tunnel on the outside, where they would look for gems
These little bats were everywhere. We were told they do not bite
Old miner checking for Gems LOL
This was an escape hatch if ever needed
Miners would crawl on their bellies to to dig for Gems
Some lovely flowers and wildlife
David wetting the soil to remove the mud and dirt and uncover our bounty
These are some of the rocks we found that might me Gems
We took our spoils to the professionals to see if we have anything of value
I liked these ones, Black Spinel. A nice shiny black stone.
These were Zircon, shiny, sparkly and you can see through them. A few of these were big enough to set but the clarity was not good
These are the Sapphires we found, Shiny sparkling and see through and mostly green. None were big enough to set.
The ICC shares anti-corruption jurisdiction with national cricket federations, all of which have anti-corruption rules considerably identical to those of the ICC. The ICC has elaborate mechanisms for figuring out whether it or a national federation will take motion underneath the related anti-corruption 텐벳 code. In common, the ICC has both exclusive or precedence jurisdiction over worldwide matches, whereas national federations have duty for actions relating solely to domestic matches. Any ICC administrative official, match referee, pitch curator , participant agent, umpire, or umpire help staffer.
