Fossicking for Sapphires in NSW, Australia
Our Story
FOSSICK is the brainchild of rockhounders Clay Davis (founder/owner of Meeko's Mine) and Kaili Rose (founder/owner of Kairo Media). Through the course of their travels, the two have been dedicated to sharing their passion for the beauty of nature, the thrill of adventure travel (often to remote places), and the process of discovery. Rockhounding has taken them all over the world; learning, creating, discovering. Finding treasures, fascinating geological locations, flora and fauna, stunning history, amazing people and incredible communities.
They realized they had an opportunity to share those experiences and create a community based around rockhounding and the adventures it takes us on. Let's face it; we've all stopped to pick up that one cool rock. Join a community where we share those adventures, celebrate a hobby and go dig around for lots of cool rocks.
