This is episode 2 of our epic rockhounding road trip across North Carolina. In today's video, we are heading to the small town of Hiddenite, North Carolina in the search for Emeralds, Aquamarine, Smoky Quartz, Rutile, Tourmaline, Mica and so much more. This locality is home to over 60 different minerals including the extremely rare gem Hiddenite.
We start the prospecting adventure by doing some creeking, where you can dig and sluice in the mineral-rich stream on the land. Some parts of the stream are enriched with non-native minerals to create an educational experience and a rewarding dig for smaller children. So keep in mind that not all of what you find in the creek will be from the area. The helpful staff will give you insights on which areas to explore depending on your interests and they can identify your finds.
After prospecting the creek, we go to the public digging site called East Ridge Mining Area to find a vein of mica and a pocket of crystals. We end up finding fantastic specimens of Smoky Quartz and a small Aquamarine. We also find tons of Mica at this beautiful location.
Besides offering a public digging access to the native geological features, the Emerald Hollow Mine also has enriched buckets for purchase and is a host to educational field trips etc.
A huge thank you to the owner of the mine Jason Martin, his whole family and the staff for the amazing hospitality and generous experience they provided. They are great people and I highly recommend visiting this mine any time of the year!
