Hunting gemstones

[3dkicker]

Anyone ever go hunting for gemstones? Find anything of value?

I took a little road trip down past Zooker's home and I'm getting a chance to dig for treasure. They've got to blow up some new rock and I get to be part of the first group to go in and search. Got a free bucket of rocks with my hotel room and pulled some nice gemstones out of it today. I've only searched 1/4 the bucket and have some nice bling already. Three big rubies and three small ones and five blue topaz similar in size to the small rubies. Haven't found an emerald yet but have a purple sapphire, an aquamarine, and a couple gems that I've forgotten what they are. Don't know the value of them and won't until they get cut. Don't know what that cost will be either.

By the way I just realized I went over 2,000 posts!!! Hooray! Happy day.
