They are also available to be purchased as single stones and statement stones, with or without stands. The owners of Emu Ridge Gallery, Chris Maaten and Shane Hebbard, are local gem specialists and passionate about fossicking and exploring the gem fields of North Queensland, Australia and the world. Beyond the sparkling stones and beautiful collection of jewellery, gifts and souvenirs, Emu Ridge also has a Gemstone and Fossil Museum, which features an extensive array of specimens.
