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!

I learned so much in only 3 videos. I'm in South Carolina and Diamond Hill is Overrated.
Awesome finds! The creek water was much higer when I was ther last May. Maybe there was some heavy rains just before.

The area did see a lot of rain last spring. I bet it washed some goodies out the tailings. ⛏
Brings back memories for me.... so fun, right.
Perto do diamante! 👏🏽👏🏽❤🇧🇷
Excelente! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤
So basically more mineral specimen rather than faceable gem jewelry quality stones. Still fun.
Merci

Haha Yeah we could probably fit in there but I’m not a city person. I choose trees over buildings 😁
Some More Iron Grils, Small Stones Don't Miss you,
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
You wont look at rocks the same again The Mud Fossil channel Process creates perfectly preserved parts of ancient creatures
Do you think any are facet grade? Thanks!
Looks like a cool spot, I might head next month,.. how far is the hike in?

From where you park it’s not far. Maybe half a mile or less. Good luck!

That's cool you're in North Carolina my neck of the woods around Madison if I'm not mistaken now I'm an Arkansas. Sometime and do a little dig or some prospecting. Do you live in Mount Ida I lived up there for a while now I'm done in Hot springs I haven't found any places down here to dig but Mount Ida is always choice. Anyway my name is Chris feel free to get in touch with me anytime

We used a pick and shovel to work through the soil, a bucket to transport the material and screens to work the material in the creek.
Where is the best place to find the perfect garnet to make jewelry? Would love to find one perfect for a cremation memorial necklace

Check out Ely in Nevada. Free collecting and excellent quality garnets!
