Virgin, unwashed gravel from the Rock Creek sapphire deposit.  This material is not from the Gem Mountain commercial mine but from the Potentate Mining Company.   This sapphire gravel comes packaged in a 2 gallon sack. The material will contain a lot of clay as well as sticks, pinecones and debris making it very difficult to wash clean.  Hopefully your added time and effort will be worth it. Fortunately, when you do get it clean, the Rock Creek sapphires are usually quite gemmy, making them easier to distinguish among the base material.  A difficult material to work but tends to produce sapphires that respond well to heat-treating.  Complete washing instructions with photo are included to assist you through the process.

Complete gem mining package that is educational as well as providing great entertainment for family time, birthdays, reunions or anytime. This mining package contains 2 bags of our Gem Krazy mining material as well as 4 each of the following: gem screens, loupes, geodes, gem vials, tweezers, baggies and gem Id cards, plus one gold pan and mining instructions.  Fun for all ages!!
