Never, ever lick rocks!!! I'll tell you why.
And just so you know, rain doesn't make the rocks safe. In fact, all rain does is spread the hantavirus even further into the soil, contaminating every thing with which it comes into contact. More things in the area become contaminated as result. Cases have been reported even in places like New York city, NY. It is never safe to lick a rock out in the field in the US. Someone needs to tell the Gumpster that she needs to stop putting those rocks in her mouth.

Treasure Hunter and WIKI Canceled!
Well this is some good news. Hopefully this site will all stay intact and we can continue on with posting our adventures, treasures, photos and friendships.
Wizard welcome back and thank you for all your advice and options you put forth to the group. You seem to be well versed and knowledgeable in the free sites such as this wiki. One thing that bothers me though is that you don't trust the information that is posted on the site. This is not the first time this has happened. Why does it take an admin to post something on a thread to mean anything? This all started with 2 emails from the moderator telling us of the TC was going to shutdown the website on Sept 30. I don't think the moderator is trying to get rid of any "slackers". He was just putting forth information he was given to the group. I presume that others like myself wrote back to the moderator asking about a migration of the site to another and other options. This was then followed up by an email to all of the members from Patty the Administrator saying that there is no need to set up another site and that this site will stay intact. These emails are sent in your profile and a notification email sent to your email you signed up with. I don’t believe there is any effort by anyone here to rid the site of "slackers". To me there are no slackers here anyway. As with every website like this, people sign up and find it interesting and participate, there are those that sign up and enjoy the site and the information and may never make a post – lucking in the shadows as I like to put it lol, and there are those that sign up that didn't think this site was for them. There is no such thing as a "slacker" in any site. continued...

Have you ever gone to one of the places featured on the show?
To answer some of your questions, who buys them, mineral collectors. In new york state you might try a local gem show or ebay. If you send me some pics of them i'll try to give you an estimate on what their worth. I hope this helps! see ya

Gemstone book & Note on Chrome Diopside
"Thanks Bill,
Do any semi-precious stones reach high per carat prices when they truly are flawless?
Aaron" Hi Aaron,
There are some gemstones that people pay way toooooo much for.
A 62-carat, royal blue rectangular cut sapphire valued at $2.8 million ($45,000/carat) (>9,000 times more valuable than an equivalent weight in gold). In 1998, a Burmese ruby of 15.97 carats sold at a Sotheby’s auction for US$3.63 million ($227,301/carat). More recently (2005), Christie’s of New York sold a near perfect 8.01-carat Burmese ruby for US$2.2 million (US$274,656/carat)! Some jade specimens included a 1.4-inch long jadeite cabochon that sold for US$1.74 million! In 1999, a jadeite bangle of 2 inches in length and 0.3 inch wide sold at a Christie’s auction in Hong Kong for US$2,576,600. Even more incredible was a 27-bead emerald-green jadeite necklace, known as the Doubly Fortunate that sold in Hong Kong for US$9.3 million in 1997.
A small 0.95-carat purplish-red diamond (the Hancock Red) sold for nearly US$1 million. To put this in perspective, one carat weighs 0.2 gram (0.007 ounce). At today’s gold price, this diamond was valued at more than 200,000 times an equivalent weight in gold - a common value for flawless pink diamonds.
