Hi everyone!
I wanted to let folks know about a new location for digging gem grade blue kyanite and rhodolite garnets.
The kyanite is similiar to what came out of the old Baker Mine in Prince Edward county VA. Nearly every piece is able to be used for jewelry and the color rivals sapphire.
I was sick and tired of the real places all closing so 2 years ago I went and found a new deposit and sold my house to buy it. I am a rockhound myself and I wanted to offer the real experience.
I am very primitive in setting, no salting or added anything. If you don't believe me than just check out the multi ton boulders of kyanite under 40 yr old tree stumps... I didn't do that
I am open daily year round by appointment for digging, hiking, primitive camping and wild berry picking in season. The blueberries should be ripe in the next few weeks and there are some blackberries still going now.
I am running a special for only $20/person and half price for kids 12 and under. No limit on how much you can take. I am going to keep that price for members of any gem or mineral club. It is my way of helping support club membership nationwide.
No bathrooms yet.... hopefully in the next couple of months once I get enough business to afford them.
I am located on over 100 acres and about 40 or so are kyanite and garnets. We are finding flour gold in the stream as well. There are a variety of minerals on the land but until I get equipment in and can track down the veins I cannot guarantee you will find them. I can guarantee you will find gem grade kyanite and rhodolite garnets. It is hard not to find them lol.
Just call or text to make your appointment. Once I get busier I will have set hours in addition to by appointment.
I recommend:
*water shoes for the streams and creek as there is broken glass sporadically
*bug spray and sunscreen
*buckets or containers to put your finds in
*any tools you like to dig with
I do have loaner tools if you need anything.
I am located at:
Earthen Paradise
599 Browntown Rd
Prospect VA 23960
434-808-5966

Admittedly my facebook page is much better than my website. My programming skills are not very good but I am going to hire someone to get the actual website looking better once I get going and profitable.
A release form must be signed for all participants and you dig at your own risk.
I hope to see some folks out! Just let me know if you have any questions.
