Updated Aug.  11, 2007 ~ from                  ATLANTA ~ the hot 404 ~ Georgia Wondering where to dig for  gems & crystals ? We have just the thing !  First time visitors are encouraged to add this webpage  ( bookmark ) to your favorites for fast access to the latest scoops on notable producing locales– ones where YOU , for a low fee , can go dig and collect nice crystals and minerals. This place is perfect for those planning a vacation to dig for gems and crystals . Also , after  browsing the rest of my homemade website visit the slick commercial version www.dixieeuhedrals.net for streaming video of monster machine digs , a photo gallery and more.  Recently the travel channel came out to film me digging that ultra dark ( and super luscious ) jxr jackson's crossroads amethyst  , to air in their Cash and Treasures  amethyst episode .    I was set up at the grassy creek gem show in Spruce Pine  , North Carolina July 25 thru Aug 5 .. This show was one of the best on this side of the United States in terms of Southeast minerals that was offered for sale .   One fellow had many slabs and cabochons of Crabtree mine  emeralds .    He had slabs by the five gallon bucket , and said that he had 26 buckets .    I tried to buy a bucket , but after he weighed it  , the bucket weighed 40 pounds .   He had said this would be 50  cents a gram , so that came out to about  $9,000.00 for a bucket .   Even after he offered it to me for $5,000.00 a bucket , I had to pass.    It was worth it , if I wanted to wait 10 or 20 years to get my money back .  Another fellow had a killer cluster of emeralds from the same locale .    In addition to Graves mountain Rutile and jackson's crossroads amethyst , & hiddenite that I had for sale ,  here is some of the things I saw for sale at the show :    Diamond Hill amethyst , more rutile by 4 other dealers ,  crossroads amethyst by 4 other dealers ,  Crabtree emerald by 3 dealers , hiddenite by 3 other dealers , emeralds from hiddenite by several dealers , Eddie rucks was out with some clams with calcite , matthew price with his Arrowhead mine arkansas quartz crystals , Charlie Padgett with graves mountain minerals , John Denny ( riviera ) , Laurie ( lauries rocks ) , several guys with brazilian amethyst geodes , Jerry Call with nice faceting rough  .    The whole place was just loaded with some amazingly nice items .    This show was supposedly lacking attendance from previous years .   I saw a couple of tailgaters ( guys who pull up and hawk minerals out of trucks and vans --but havent paid the show fee ) .       If you only go to one show , the Grassy Creek show is the one to go to  this side of the states .   I will most likely be set up again there next year .  New fieldtrips announced , be sure to see the fieldtrip page !   I have recently been digging at the hogg mine with a huge 50,000 pound excavator , in this case , a John Deere 200 .  There came a point in time in which a huge and very blue aquamarine crystal was uncovered . It was so big that It could be seen from 70 feet away !   This is a classic example of aquamarine beryl crystals being found in a pegmatite.  The crystals form next to the quartz core and have velvety white kaolin underneath the crystal . This crystal weighs about 12 pounds . It is extremely blue and has  areas of facet grade aquamarine.  As you can see it is about 7 inches tall and about 6 inches diameter ! You can see me digging up that good Georgia amethyst  on the travel channel JUNE 28 , at 8:30 p.m.   See below for ordering info if you want to buy some amethyst !
