Anakie – The Sapphire Fields of Central Queensland – Walda Scholler

Short Description

Self published by Walda Scholler who lived at Anakie in Queensland which is just west of Emerald – still a reasonable drive from Rockhampton.

Card cover, 112 pages, nicely illustrated, this edition published 1990, printed at Yeppon.

Signed nicely by the author but we think they probably all were.

Some almighty special gems have been found at Annakie – they have names – The Golden Willow, Stonebridge’s Green, the Centenary Gem and the Black Star of Queensland [Biggest in the World]. That alone should get your gem hunting juices going.

Interesting content re the Kajanjian brothers of Los Angeles, gem cutters and dealers who bought the Black Star. To cement their control they purchased many of the big finds at Anakie.

Anakie Gem Fields almost a secret
