Today’s Resolution: Go Rock Hunting

I’ve been feeding my inner geologist over the past couple months by going emerald mining, gemstone cutting and rock hunting. In fact, last week I bought a Facetron lapidary machine so I can get into cutting my own gemstones and the guy who sold it to me was a real craftsman.

So today, fire up the internet and find out what kind of rocks and gemstones are found in your area. Think of this as a treasure hunt. Can’t do it today? Then plan a trip this summer.

Then, find a of couple spots and go digging.

Good luck and let me know what you find! We just went digging for Emeralds in Hiddennite, NC last month and it was awesome.
