Rubies and Sapphires

Fun day at Mason Mnt. Mine in Franklin, NC. Unsalted material.

Very nice, thanks for sharing. Finding an emerald surprised me. Got to take the lady folk someday.

 That's cool, gemstones can reward you many times more than gold if you hit a few good stones!!!

 Unsalted is the only way to go, I would must rather find a few good stones by chance than to get a baggie full of salted stones at a salted place!!

 Indy, just think how good ya'll would of done if you had brought your scuba gear, I know the current was fast, but it didn't look too deep!

You crack me up! Fast but not too deep. I am surrounded with clowns.

They are closed for the winter. Going back this spring. Will let you know when we are going. They found some nice stones. I found a couple of nice ones. Will play with them sometime this winter as soon as I get some diamond plates for my Genie.

I think may have to make my way back up that way this spring also. Trying to remember how to get back to some of the places I used to hunt rubies at.
