点评:3 of us attended. We paid to do a double load (we sifted until we had twelve 5 gallon buckets of gravel) and then ran them through the machinery. It was a 97oF day, so we only sorted 1/2 the gravel, and took the rest home in 2 bags to look through later. In the half that we looked through at the mine itself, we found 2 that were over 5ct, including 1 beautiful specimen that could cut out at 2ct and 4 others over 2ct. In addition, we found a few garnets, fossils and agates.
I can't say enough about the support and staff. They are great people! Amazing and helpful. We got a tour of the commercial side that was very informative. After we sort the other bags, we will be sending the best back to them for cutting over the winter (when the mine is closed). Their cutting work is great and seems reasonably priced compared to some other options.
Not to throw stones at other places (so I won't name them) but several years ago, we got a giant bag of gravel from another place in Montana that had nothing like the 6 best stones we got here - and we got to experience more of the whole process, which was definitely worth it.
翻译:我们 3 个人参加了。我们付钱做了双倍的装载(我们筛选了 12 桶 5 加仑的砾石),然后将它们放入机器中。那天的气温是 97oF,所以我们只筛选了一半的砾石,其余的装在 2 个袋子里带回家,以后再查看。在我们在矿场查看的那一半中,我们发现了 2 个超过 5 克拉的砾石,包括 1 个可以切割成 2 克拉的美丽样本和 4 个超过 2 克拉的样本。此外,我们还发现了一些石榴石、化石和玛瑙。
我对支持和员工赞不绝口。他们都是很棒的人!令人惊叹,乐于助人。我们参观了商业方面,非常有见地。在我们对其他袋子进行分类后,我们将把最好的送回他们,让他们在冬天切割(当矿场关闭时)。他们的切割工作很棒,与其他一些选择相比,价格似乎合理。
并不是要向其他地方扔石头(所以我就不说出它们的名字了),但是几年前,我们从蒙大拿州的另一个地方得到了一大袋砾石,那里的砾石与我们在这里得到的 6 块最好的石头完全不同 - 而且我们体验了整个过程,这绝对是值得的。
