      <image:title>Articles - Prospecting for gold at Ararat - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 1857, a party of Chinese miners en route to the Central Victorian gold fields, struck gold at the Canton Lead. This marked the beginning of a settlement that took its name from Mount Ararat, 10 kilometres south-west of the town. Ararat is the only city in Australia to be founded by Chinese people and it boomed until the start of the 19th century, after which its population dwindled. Today it is home to some12,000 people in the town and surrounding areas</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Rubies are really a girl’s best friend - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Just like the Black Prince’s Ruby, the Timur Ruby is actually a spinel. The name of the stone comes from Timur (Tamerlane 1336-1405), the founder and namesake of the Timurid Empire in central Asia. The irregularly-shaped cabochon spinel weighs an impressive 361 carats. The stone is etched with the names of five of the men who owned it: Jahangir (1569-1627), the 4th Mughal Emperor; Shah Jahan (1592-1666), the 5th Mughal Emperor; Farrukhsiyar (1685-1719), the 10th Mughal Emperor; Nader Shah (1688-1747), Shah of Iran; and Ahmad Shah Durrani (1722-1772), King of Afghanistan. Jahangir also had the name of his father, Akbar the Great, engraved on the spinel.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Articles - Rubies are really a girl’s best friend - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>This 8.62 carat ruby was bought at auction in 2014 by London luxury jeweller, Laurence Graff. He paid US$8.6 million at the time. Regarded by many as the finest ruby in the world and named the Graff Ruby, it comes from Mogok in Myanmar. At the same auction a 27.54-carat Kashmir sapphire sold for a record $US6.78 million</image:caption>

      <image:caption>NOTE: Beaconsfield became the centre of attention once again when the Beaconsfield Gold Mine collapsed due to an earthquake on 25th April, 2006. Of the 17 people who were in the mine at the time, 14 escaped immediately following the collapse. One miner, Larry Knight, was killed and the remaining two, Brant Webb and Todd Russell, were found alive on the sixth day by miners Pat Ball and Steve Saltmarsh. Webb and Russell were rescued on 9th May 2006, two weeks after being trapped nearly one kilometre below the surface. The mine closed in 2012.</image:caption>
