Finding Sapphires at Two Sapphire Mines in Montana

the sun, right? there's a good finally, there you go, it's going to make a good Esmeralda type type, easy cut, yeah bro, good job, I think it's 16 for this, I almost put my vial between three runs, amazing man, I don't think so You have done well, assistant, it is almost full. just, yeah, continue a little bit more to review, there's a teenager about 17 years old. Now it's time for the shaky, let's see if we can find out more that we are hiding the heavy side, okay, we have the dark stones here, you don't see anything after that, the pan is hot, it's okay anyway, thanks, so that here are all the

sapphire

s I have from my trip to Montana, all except the Gem Mountain

sapphire

s that I left to warm up in addition to them, which would be some of the largest in this section.

This is everything else. These are the sapphires I have here from checking out the gravel buckets at Gem Mountain. across 21 cubes which were three of your Lucky Sevens and besides the ones that are warming up, this is everything else. I have the things I left in the bags, the things I don't consider grade much faster because they are too small or defective. something else could be faceted, so I have my Mountain Sapphires gem from the gravel cubes. I went through a cowboy boot and these are the sapphires that I found there and I went through a mega jug and these are The sapphires and then the rest of these sapphires.

The ones featured in this section are from the El Dorado Bar Blue Gem Sapphire Mine and you can almost see a little bit of the color difference compared to the rest of these Gem Mountain Sapphires, these naturally have a bit of a tone bluer compared to greener shades. and the fancy colors you can get and they are also larger on average although you don't find as many sapphires as you would at Gem Mountain you do get a lot of them they are the ones you find they are a little bigger most of these here are below of a carrot, approximately 70 points per carat, if you compare them with the things I bought from the El Dorado bar.

This is the section I have chosen, which has 70 points per carat. The rest of these stones that are. from my Festival the ones that are more than one carat I won the two carat range two carrots my eyelashes range from one to three carats one three carat piece I have some four carat pieces one is very flat I'm going to cut anyway the other one has the other two have just a few flaws, a 6.1 carat piece, which is probably the best of my large ones, is mostly clean and then the largest one, which was 6.7 carats, is quite flawed, but I think which can still be cut and will probably hold together, we will fix some fractures and Other things in that piece of sapphires from the El Dorado bar from Blue Jewel I found over 300 carats, of which I have about 200 carats of sapphires in my Festival range , which is pretty cool, especially since it's not as many pieces as the small ones, so I'll have quite a few larger stones that I can cut from these.

I have a lot to cut this year, in general, between all the sapphire

mines

and jars I got from gems. Mountain, I ended up

finding

over a thousand carrots of sapphires in total, of which I selected about 430 carats as possibly facetable, although I won't button them all with the amount of sapphires I have, I probably won't button them too much. many of the smaller ones before I go away next year and do more lovely cuts throughout the year with the amount of sapphires I have I probably have about 350 pieces total between the facets of which about 200 of them fall at a little less than a carat size, although that still leaves me with 150 larger character pieces to work on this year with my Montana sapphires before I go looking for more next year.

I really like these two

mines

a lot, the gem mountain, you can get a lot of sapphires. they heat up really well, it's like the ones I send on the heat tree, oh that's where I'll get my hot tails and fill in my really pretty blues for cutting and I like the Eldorado bar because I get bigger sapphires, they're unheated colors, oh it's pretty decent as you can see. I have a lot of work to do. I don't know exactly what stones I'll start with when I make my videos, but we'll definitely video the biggest one at some point, which is six carrots. how it turns out maybe if some of these other big ones are fancy colors, as I decide it will take a while, but I'm going to create some pretty pieces with these.

I hope to cut them and thanks for watching. I find all these sapphires funny. I really love going out and

finding

myself. There's something about finding your own stones and cutting them. It's really exciting if you want to find your own sapphires. I suggest you go to any of the mines there. The gem mountain is great. for an easy experience, the gravel is already to the point where you can start sifting it through the water and find the blue jeweled El Dorado sapphire bar, a little more work, but if you want to find some larger pieces, I know you can find some larger ones there, but also if you want the fancy colored gem Mountain Gem Mountain is definitely a place to go for fancy colors, you will likely find some small pinks or possibly other fun colors mixed in with their sapphires.
