Can you tell me if there is anything else that I might find besides the sapphires and garnets or rubys that would be worth keeping? Also how can I identify the different stones?
A. Sapphires are glassy, tint of color, have sides on them and are heavy. Read the big direction card for more clues. Rubies are very rare so probably you found garnets. There are red or orange melded jaspers, green pale serpentine, darker green jade, waxy white or brown agates, blazay white, off-white, yellow quartz that will turn white in your hand. Sapphires will still appear glassy in your hand. Hematite is black, blobby, sometimes seed pod fossils or cubes, single or group cubes that look like raspberries. Mostly you have pretty rocks that can be used for crafts. The clear sapphires and garnets can be faceted and have values ranging from $25 to $100 for medium grade. Better sapphires finishing over one carat can double in value and at times be in the thousands. Like that potential! Q. Could you please explain the differences between the Montana Super Sapphire Concentrate, El Dorado Monster Mine, the Spokane Bar Monster Mine reg. ; Guaranteed Spokane Bar Monster Mine, the Party Pak
