Happy Holidays to you all. I’ve gone through my gravel the first time and found 71 Sapphires from the El Dorado gravel and 18 Sapphires from your gravel. I’m building a light box to go through the gravels again to see what I have missed. I also ordered 3 more gravel bags of the El

I thought ya’ll would like to see some pictures of some of the larger sapphires and garnets I’ve found in my monster mines and e-monster mines.   Several are over a carat or two.  I haven’t had any of them appraised or faceted, but I imagine some are worth some decent $$$. Justin Pfrehm  

I thought you might like to see the first 2 hours work. The dark one is 10mm x 5mm and has violet tint. The long blue on is 10mm x 4mm We also have 60crts being processed from the first 2 bags. Stay warm, they say that storm is going to hit us tonight. My

I have ordered several times from you and I am SOOOO hooked.  I don’t know the sizes of these stones but as you can see, there are more than half that I believe are at least 1 carat or larger. I cannot believe the fun and the excitement. I have included some pics for you

I thought you’d like to see what came from the first El-Dorado shipment.

My overall impression is to order another E-Mine and give it

We thought we’d share our sapphire find with you. These are only a few of what we found in the last order of gravel we received. Thanks for all the excitement. Jim and Kathy Cavins  

I just wanted to report to you that I finally got around to sorting my second 3.5 gallon sapphire gravel.  I feel like a pro now. I carefully washed and examined with two sets of eyes and found more in this bag than the first. I found 18 sapphires and 4 garnets in the first

Just a quick note to let you know that the Monster mine we purchased from you guys has really paid off!….  Here is the news of our haul: the Ruby came in at 3.79 Carats and is going for faceting here in Edmonton. We also have found 43.12 carats of gem quality sapphires so far

This is Great, I recently had the good fortune of splitting a monster mine with my friend Jeff Wilcox. I had the best time going through them, finding several sapphires plus lots of other cool things. Here is a pix of what I have found so far.
