Doc's Rocks Gem Mine

The Topaz trip to TN

May 2011 

The trip was AWESOME. We had a great time and found lots of cool specimins and gemstones. To all who particapated, thank you for making this trip one to remember!!!

We had a few new discoveries on this particular outing. The first Ruby and the first Emerald on record to be found at this site. The Ruby was found by a focused rock hound who dug in one spot for over an hour, his patience paid off...

And the Emerald was found by a boy who decided to have one last look by the stream minutes before leaving...

Congradulations to both of our lucky rock hounds for thier amazing finds.

Here are the rest of the pictures we took...
