Sapphire Gravel From Helena MT
TESTIMONIAL: “I bought three bags of Sapphire gravel from the Spokane Bar Sapphire Mine. Two bags are from the Old El Dorado Sapphire Mine that is now closed. I received them on Tuesday afternoon from the UPS driver. I can still hear him grumbling about how heavy they where LOL. Well I took them down stairs and started the first bag from the El Dorado Mine by using two screens, one 1/4 ” and one 1/16″ screen. I have found 31 Sapphires in this bag so far. I will still do two more steps to make sure I get all the Sapphires that I might of missed the first time. Today I started the second and found 43 Sapphires so far.”
Special thanks to Carl Mauritz for the info on this page.
