Why are there Garnets Everywhere on this Beach! *New Adventure 2024*
Panning for gemstones - Many Gemstones are heavy just like gold, so you can pan for gemstones just like you pan for gold. However, they are ot as heavy, and more difficult to pan. That is typically why we use a gem sieve rather than a gold pan for gemstones. In this case all I had was the gold pan, and we needed some garnets for our webstore, so today I am panning for garnets! And also checking out a new claim.

Is it actually JADE? - *Lab Tested*

After another very successful jade hunt on the Fraser river, I sent samples away to get lab tested to see if they were actually Nephrite Jade or just great quality gem serpentine. And the results confirm, there is jade on the Fraser.

    Only place I've ever been where you could literally scoop up small garnets was near Mount Frosty mine, Mount Isa, Queensland. Garnets were embedded in schist host rock along with Staurolite crystals. We used to look for the crossed crystals (Maltese crosses) and multiply crossed crystals (Fairy cartwheels) there. Almost all the small garnet crystals were perfectly formed. Never found any larger than 2mm in diameter though. There were supposedly other nearby areas where larger garnets could be found but the country was truly rugged and only way in was trekking miles on foot in a very arid environment.

    As a biologist, I kind of approve of those rules for taking material out. That does seem like it would protect the river from the more unscrupulous greedy people. That said, I'm also one culprit for your depleting garnet supply. I think I should get my order in just a day or two. Cheers from Finland! (We also have garnets here, but I just loved the look of yours.) :D

    We used to find tons of almandine garnets while gold panning in Vermont. I used to save all the big ones but stopped after accumulating a gallon freezer bag full. Some of them were pretty big, nearing walnut sized. Same as in your area though, all the big ones were so dark they looked black. The tiny ones and fragments were a great red color though. Those hardrock specimens you got at the end are awesome!

    Is it a common requirement that you have to do work and/or improvements on a claim within certain time period in order to keep the claim. Where I grew up in Nevada County California, it was my understanding that claim holders had to do work every year to maintain river access and the state of the river. The few times I heard of this was in the context of maintaining trails.
