Dug these up at the Emerald Hollow Mine in Hiddenite NC a couple of years ago. First one is jasper, the green one is bloodstone, and the third one is a one carat blood ruby. The prepared them for me at their lapadary on site. Took four months to get them back. gonna have necklaces made from jasper and bloodstone. the ruby is gonna be a ring.

Emerald hollow is a great place to go i have been 4 times found a bunch each time i have been. I only do the Free bucket you get when you pay your entry fee i do the creeking its the best way to get them. a lot of the time you can see them just laying on the bottom . i have about 10 pounds of gem stones i need to have something made out of some of them or sell some of them. they did a great job on yours i would have somthing nice made out of them.
