[QUOTE="Phil8303, post: 620174, member: 21490"] Hi KesTwo, In addition to Aussie Farmer's awesome advice, I would suggest knowing as much detail as possible about what you are going to look for and do some research on the related ground rock/soil that the gem is found in. Google where others have found that kind of gem and try and determine the type of grounds and ideally exact locations of those finds. Scope out areas as much as possible (both online and in-person). Sometimes there are specific gems that will glow under a UV light, so you might decide to check some spots at night with a black light, but you will definitely want to research. I would say you will likely need to dig and pick around some places as gemstones don't usually fall in your lap (most good things never do). All the best. [/QUOTE]
