That is so cool sometimes when I am out mining here in North Georgia I find little opaque looking stones that to me look like they could be sapphires but I don't think that there are any in my area

She needs to come and find some. Yes I did set up my sluice found a little bit not enough to put in the video so I cut it out.

Nice, Alan!

That's amazing Alan. Until you shared these last two videos, I had never seen a jig in action. Those red ones you found should be Ruby correct? From what I understand, it's all corundum. Red is Ruby, the rest are sapphire. But I'm far from an expert, Way Far!!
