"here's some advice a buddy sent me...what do you think?

"......I have a rhodonite claim within several hundred feet of one of my vesuvianite claims...this rhodo is also within a half mile of 3 other vesuvianite outcroppings......the easiest way to find where your rhodo is.....is state mineralogy reports......Manganese is usually found with rhodo in the same deposits......manganese is or was considered a strategic mineral for the past war efforts......so most states give very specific locations for like chrome and manganese......."

"well, we are back from franklin,nc and let me tell you guys how we did. we got to franklin on friday in the afternoon,so we went to check in at the oak hill bed and breakfast on old murphy road. connie was our hostess and a great lady. after checking in, we decided to go eat and rest for the next day. when saturday came i got up , only to meet the rain at the window.oh well, we are still going gem hunting, i told myself. so after nancy gets up and we have had our shower and breakfast, we decided to head out into the rain and adventure. first we went to a couple mines in cowee area and found that the rain had made the muddy gravel roads slipper, so we turned around and decided to go over to cherrokee city and shop some. we got on 441N and was going up the mountain and the fog was getting thicker and thicker. when we were almost at the top we could hardly see in front of us,when we did see a gem mine on the side of the road right on the highway. so to turn a negative into a possitive, we decided to giive it a try. the name of this place is called GOLD CITY GEM MINE and we are sure glad we stopped. here we found friends , a emerald that we are having cut into a 3 ct. bueaty, 250 ct. ruby that when we decide to have it cut , it may star. we found about 200 more cts of rubies, 300 cts of garnets, 150 cts of sapphires. so yes, we are glad we stoped. this place has native buckets and enriched, but we only did the native buckets. they have a mine about 300 yards behind the store. we are at home now and await our stone we are having cut, but are counting the days before we go back.i hope this helps, don and nancy................

"I just find the whole idea of the gels fascinating...i guess it just looks like goop.
sadly events have conspired to keep me from the WSMC meeting...I didn't go to Maine, but I had to sacrafice my spare vehicle to the cause...it sits parked at SeaTac until tuesday...and I am trying to prepare the house for my mother's return (she REALLY broke her leg in a grocery stone in Maine...like bolts had to be used to fix her)...so next meeting...no rush i guess and I guess there weren't any blues out there for me anyway.

"You mentioned you would likely go to Phillipsburg, MT aroung May 2009. Did you ever make it? We're planning a trip there in May/June 2010 and wonder what luck people have had. Is Gem Mountain the best one to visit? We're trying to plan ahead and make reservations. Thanks for your feedback."
