Hey y'all! I recently found a pretty incredible smoky quartz pocket and I'm curious to know what other precious gems could be lurking in the same area. Here is a pic of one of the clusters.
I thought this was going to be a story similar to the time I had a spare 9 volt battery in the same pants pocket as my car keys. I almost started a fire in my pants.
Gorgeous! North Carolina has many precious & semi-precious gemstones! You'll find lots of info here, at other online sites, & from the North Carolina state geological society (or whatever it's called, lol). NC definitely has produced emeralds in big clusters also. Have Fun! Andi
I watch that Prospectors show on the Weather Channel and often enough they find Topaz near Smokey. I'm sure an expert will chime in here shortly so just consider my input a starting point.
