I had a fun trip to the sapphire mines in Montana this year! I got a lot of sapphires for cutting!

I wish you talked about the amount of money you spent and the possible value of of stones before and after cutting.

Just to clarify, at Gem Mountain you guys went through 21 buckets (3 x 7 bucket rounds), and at Montana Blue Jewel Mine you went through about 12 buckets? It looks like the odds of getting bigger and more classic blue sapphires are better at Blue Jewel, but at Gem Mountain you can get more exotic colors.

That pink sapphire was gorgeous!

Very cool stuff. I wish we had these kinds of places in the UK. We have semi-precious stone but I don't think we have any truly precious stone mines open to the public

You get to process the stuff that's been screened to "remove all the larger rocks & boulders (and the really big sapphires)".

Gem Mountain will also ship pay gravel to you if. We had a great time in 2021 when we visited.

objectively the coolest way to gamble

So my question is >> How Much did you have to PAY to find all these Sapphires ?

I used to live in Montana and found a lot of garnets and rubies mixed into the sapphires

This video is great! My family and I are heading off to Inverell (Australia) to fossick for sapphires in a few weeks. It was so helpful seeing your techniques. Thanks! 🙂👍

Having a uv flashlight may help to see the beaties. Awesome adventure.

Very Nice video! Wonderfull precious stone!😊

It feels like I would enjoy finding some my self. But then, who will cut them ? Thank You Math for taking me to watch you find Saphires!

I think they screen them so they get all the big honkers lol

Awesome video. I'm currently saving for my faceting machine. I'd love to see a video of you cutting one of the sapphires you got. I'm looking forward to planning some trips like yours and getting my own stones to cut as well.

nice stones man

If you want a fancier word for "shaking" Aggitation works :)

We went on a trip to Gem Mountain from Colorado and I have several bags of Sapphire Rough. It was fun and not too hot as it is in the hills. My son enjoyed it also, even though he enjoys panning for gold more, back home.

Gracias por compartir, pude corroborar con tus imágenes qu el que creí q era un zafiro amarillo que encontré en la playa en efecto si lo es. Ahora estaría genial saber si encuentro mas donde los podría vender😊🤗
