Gemstone misidentification? 15539 10
Started by goldcrazy2@gmail.com
I found a couple of old claims in northern California with a mineral entry of tourmaline, yet I can find no history on them.

Guess its just my natural rockhounding ways! I always give advice to not dive into just finding the gold when out on a claim, but also take a minute to look at the rocks around you. You never know what yo...

Finding Intresting Gems 12364 2
Started by shelawantwo@gmail.com
Hello Fellow Prospectors,
Over the past couple of months my soon to be husband and I have been doing some prospecting. We have found a good amount in gold in some VA dirt and some others. I am getting married in November and have a specific dream for my wedding ring. I want to melt down the gold (refining, etc..) making it into a wedding setting. While prospecting we also have found several large almandine garnets. That when you put under a LED light it's a bright red ...
