Description
GB-001 GEMS OF HOPE MIX! This limited-edition gem mix honors Hurricane Helene, which roared through the Blue Ridge Mountains on September 27, 2024 and decimated our area. We created an amazing super-concentrated gemstone mix to honor the area and mountain people, our neighbors who shined like gems in the darkest days of disaster. Most of our other gem mixes contain white gravel but this contains about 2 gallons (25-30 pounds) of dark black crushed rock and sand, a reminder of the dark days and weeks without power, water, phones, internet and road access! A beautiful world-wide variety of crystals, gems, and minerals have been added to the black rock ore and the sparkling gems are reminders of neighbors whose light shined brightly in the darkness. Enjoy finding a sparkling handful of colorful gems in the crushed black mine rock, including Emerald, Sapphire, Amethyst, Citrine, Quartz, Tiger-eye, Pyrite, Rose Quartz, Fluorite and more! Wash these outside in a screen or colander to reveal the sparkling beauty within. The Gems of Hope Mix is shipped in a sturdy bag in a box, and we include a color gem identification chart to assist in identifying your special stones. A portion of proceeds go to Hurricane Helene repairs at Emerald Village in Little Switzerland, NC. For a limited time, get a bonus piece of Mica and FREE PRIORITY SHIPPING!
