Mining Garnet Gemstones at the Little Pine Garnet Crystal Mine in North Carolina

In this fourth and final episode of gem mining in North Carolina, we head to the Little Pine Garnet Mine in the beautiful Smoky Mountains.
This is a historic location that is open to the public for mining and finding your own crystals. We share our experience and our techniques on how to recover many beautiful gem garnets. This is a beautiful location that is family friendly and very rewarding to the rockhound.
Thanks for watching! Have a beautiful day, crystal family!

    Years ago I got some garnets from NC. Though I bought mine, so certainly not quite the fun y'all had. Lol. But after I tumbled them they brightened up great. Nice maroon color.

    Did you fix the stream where you made the dams and mudholes?

  • @CrystalsofArkansas

    I appreciate your concern for the land. I agree, it seems against mining etiquette to use streams for washing. At this location though it is part of the process and there are dirt settling spots further downstream. We did our best to fill holes and restore the flow. And the next storm usually rearranges the creek as well. ✌️ Many crystal blessings
