lost Gold Mines

If you crave for some real adventure and can spare the time for this purpose, a search for lost gold mines and rich deposits should be highly attractive. The world” mine” in the parlance of gold prospectors does not always mean a hole in the ground for the purpose of extracting gold, but rather, in a broader sense, also any deposit of mineral or of O1′e suitable for extraction, no matter whether there has been any lost digging done or not.

That a rich discovery, once made; may be lost again, seems unbelievable to many who are not acquainted with the wide open spaces of the western deserts and mountains, where many hills look almost alike and very few of them possess definite distinguishing landmarks whereby they may be recognized again when seen for the second time. This should impress you with the importance of our advice for noting on the topographic maps every spot where a sample has been taken and record very carefully and accurately your location on the topographic maps after staking the same.

Besides, the location of many rich mines was intentionally kept secret by their discoverers, some of them died without ever revealing their secrets. Some of the old Spanish mines in the Southwest have been abandoned for different reasons, such as attacks by hostile Indians, occurrence of water in the shafts, lack of sufficient technical knowledge, and the workings have been subsequently covered by shifting sands, landslides, earthquakes and various natural agencies.

On the other hand it must be admitted that every gold mining region has its stories and fairy tales of fabulously rich mines. These stories seldom contain all the truth and nothing but the truth, usually, however, they are based on somewhat distorted facts, and always they point to gold bearing districts, where other deposits may often be found while searching for the lost mine.

Thus in January 1932 the newspapers brought the following story: “Hunters Locate I.ost Gold Mine. - Tucson, Arizona, Jan. 23. - Because a dog chased a rabbit into a large hole in the mountain side, the famous El Rey Gold Mine, lost more than two centuries ago, was found recently. Tools and manuscripts discovered bore the
date 1672.

Early Spanish explorers and Indians are said to have taken $1,000,000 in gold from the shaft more than 1,000 feet deep. The dog’s owner, C. B. Trott, and other members of the hunting party have staked claims.” It is the opinion of many persons acquainted with the circumstances of the original discovery and with the surrounding country that the famous, fabulously rich Breyfogle Mine has never been definitely located. Several other high grade deposits have been discovered, however, in the long continued search for this bonanza.

Some think that the lost Breyfogle Mine was discovered in the “Johnnie Mine” in the southern part of the Nye County, Nevada, that contained very rich gold ore in its very outcrop. Others think that the lost Breyfogle Mine was discovered by the sons of James Clifford Sr. who has located on a ranch near a wild horse spring east of Tonopah. On a small hill within the ranch his sons accidentally discovered very rich gold ore. They were subsequently digging out the ore, putting it in sacks and hauling on wagons across the desert to a railroad from where it was being shipped to smelters in Utah or Colorado.

The ore was so rich that Clifford sometimes got several thousand dollars for a single load. Without machinery and equipment and with crude workings this mine produced $600,000 worth of gold. The existence of some of the lost rich mines was proved beyond any doubt by native gold, either fine or in large nuggets, and by samples very rich in gold, that have been seen and assayed by reliable and trust¬ worthy men. And we believe that at least some of these lost mines will be discovered in the near future by the well informed and properly equipped prospector conducting the search as a grand and glorious adventure.

How To Prospect for Minerals and Gold

How To Prospect for Minerals and Gold

A great lesson from 1933 by DR. L. Stolfa, only the equipment has changed and he gives some great description and tests for detecting Minerals.

(Placer prospecting) Having arrived at the scene of your intended prospecting activities, what mode of initial attack will you select, what will be your opening move in playing the game? Ordinarily it will make little difference whether you are searching for a placer or a gold vein. You will look for a definite clue, and when found, you will follow it to its successful termination. The most reliable clue is “float”, a term applied to small, sometimes minute pieces of gold and other vein material found in sand and gravel of the streams, in detritus of canyons and gullies, at base of mountains, in sand of the desert, etc.

Originally gold was contained in a vein higher up in the mountains. In the course of long periods of time the surface part of the vein, called outcrop, was slowly eroded by water and wind and gradually disintegrated by complicated chemical agencies with the result that gold was gradually separated from the other component parts of the vein and set free.

These particles of metallic or native gold were subsequently picked up by water during rains and transported for variable distances until finally, when the stream slowed down sufficiently to allow these particles to settle down, they were deposited on mountainsides, in gullies, canyons, in beds, banks and bars of either constant or intermittent streams where they formed deposits, which are, so to say, samples of the materials contained in the higher reaches of the drainage zone.

The following metals may occur in paying quantities in placers: Gold, platinum. silver, iridosmine, all of which have distinct metallic luster. Besides that the following minerals with non-metallic luster may be found: zircon, monazite, tin stone (cassiterite), cerium, uraninite (pitchblende) source of radium, yttrium, rutile, diamond, etc. Repeated erosion, separation, transportation and deposition produced layers of gold containing sands’ and gravels, sometimes many feet in thickness, called gold placers. The placers that were formed many ages ago are called “ancient placers”. They may be even several hundred feet in thickness.

It is well to remember that in these ancient placers the upper layers usually carry lower values than the deeper ones, which is the value of gold per cubic yard of the material increases with the depth, though not at a uniform rate. Because of long continued exposure to chemical action produced by seeping-in water, in presence of iron, lime and other minerals, those deposits often became cemented together into a form of conglomerate. Some of the rivers that produced these placers changed subsequently their course due to changes in the elevations of earth surface or because the flow of lava in their upper course blocked the stream. Thus it happens that gold is found not only in the sands of presently flowing rivers (modern rivers), but also high up above the present streams in benches, that is, terraces, that ages ago formed the banks of the rivers, also in ancient river beds, on some hills and in deserts far away from any stream flowing now. Some of the ancient placers were subsequently buried by lava flow and others cut across by new rivers, thus forming modern placers by eroding, transporting and depositing material from the ancient placers.

Since the gold particles settle down wherever the stream slows down sufficiently, the gold is most likely to be found wherever there is a change in the direction of the stream as for example on the concave side of the stream, also in holes and pockets in the river beds, on the downstream side of rocks and boulders, in the river bars, banks that were submerged during high water, around the roots of grass and trees growing on the banks, etc. It is always advisable to dig several feet down to what is called “hardpan”, a name applied to a hard layer of gravel and sand or clay, or to the bedrock under the gravel. Black, rusty, yellow, red or any other conspicuous color is often a very favorable, though not infallible, sign of the presence of gold.

Rich deposits occur in those places of the stream where a sudden change of direction occurs, where the tributaries empty into the main stream. Larger pieces of gold are usually found in the vicinity of the vein from which they came, while finer gold may be found many miles away from the lode deposit. Coarser gold is found with coarser gravel and finer particles with finer sand. Wherever black sand and other iron minerals accumulate, gold is liable to accumulate also, because both of these metals are quite heavy, Potholes are not favorable places for deposition of gold. Bars of rock running across the stream collect considerable amount of gold on their downstream side.

From its hiding places gold is dug out and separated from the admixture of worthless matter by the process designated as panning. This consists of mixing with water the gold containing sand, gravel or dirt in a pan made especially for this purpose and agitating the mixture in such a way as to allow the gold, that is heaviest, to settle down at the bottom of the pan, while the lighter particles of the soil, sand and other worthless ingredients are washed over the rim of the pan and discarded.

Since mastering the art of panning is essential to your success, you should study carefully the directions given below and -then practice and practice until you acquire a high degree of skill in handling the gold pan.

Following are the directions for panning:

1. Fill the pan about two-thirds full with “dirt” (gold bearing sand and gravel), immerse in water and holding it horizontally, soak its contents well, then with fingers crush under water all lumps and mix the contents thoroughly into thin, uniform mash.

2. Holding the pan with one hand on each side and still keeping it horizontal under the water, rotate it briskly in circles slightly larger than the pan itself, swinging the arms freely, the motion being more in the shoulder and elbow joints than in the wrists. Pick the larger pebbles out of the pan and discard them. By this time the coarser gravel and the lightest particles (dust, clay) should have been removed and the water in the pan is much clearer than at the start of panning.

3. Holding the pan in the same way under water, shake and rotate it with motions closely resembling those of sifting. Repeat several times.

4. Now begin to incline the pan slightly in such a way that the rim away from you remains under water, while the one close to you barely emerges above the water level. In this position shake and rotate the pan with sifting-like motions, allowing always little of the contents to wash over the depressed rim.

5. Remove from water and rotate in such a way as to produce a wave of water travelling around the sides of the pan from the depressed rim upwards and then sideways down towards the lower rim and carrying with itself over the lower rim always a little more of the lighter materials in the pan. This phase of the work has to be done gently and smoothly without jerking, in order to save as much of the fine gold as possible. Keep always enough water in the pan, repeated~ ly adding, as necessary, and continue this washing until about a teaspoonful or less of clean, sandy material is left in the pan. If gold is present, this residue will be chiefly gold sand or gold dust and “black sand” which is composed of minute dark grains of various minerals, chiefly iron minerals (magnetite, ilmenite, chromite), tinstone (cassiterite), tourmaline, etc.

6. When about a teaspoonful or even less of the material is left, the pan is given a sliding motion which is arrested with a sudden jerk. This procedure partially separates the worthless sand from the gold. In this residue look for “colors” that is deep orange yellow specks with metallic luster. Use a magnifier if you see no colors with unaided eye. The orange yellow material, if found, has to be subjected to some of the previously described tests in order to differentiate gold chiefly from yellow mica, which is usually sharply angular and flattened, and pyrites, and establish its positive identity.

It is impossible to separate completely black sand from gold by mere panning. If magnetic, the black sand may be removed by a magnet after previous drying of the residue left in the pan. The gold may also be extracted by amalgamating it with mercury (quicksilver) which method will be described later. While, as a rule, the main component part of the black sand is worthless, being made of iron minerals, there are several other, chiefly very valuable minerals, that lag behind in the residue after the removal of its magnetic component.

These minerals may be divided into two groups according to whether they have a metallic or non-metallic luster. The following are the minerals with metallic luster that may remain with the black sand, and that are valuable:

Platinum, This is pale steel gray or silver white in color, streak the same, harder and heavier than gold, infusible, soluble only in aqua regia, malleable easily into thin sheets and giving no odor on heating.

PALLADIUM. This is steel gray to silver white, often with bluish tarnish, scratched with glass, as heavy as lead, dissolved in nitric acid, flattens under hammer, no odor on heating.

IRIDOSMINE. Steel gray or silver white, scratches glass and is scratched by quartz, gives off peculiar odor when heated.

WOLFRA1\UTEl Dark grayish black, aiS heavy as steel, hard to scratch with a knife.

URANINITE (Pitchblende). Black or brownish, easily scratched with knife, very heavy. Its luster is not typically metallic, sometimes almost non-metallic. Being a source of radium it is a very valuable ore.

The following valuable minerals without meta11ic luster remain with the black sand:

CASSITERITE (tinstone). Black or brownish black, not scratched with a knife, but scratched with quartz, three times as heavy as quartz.

SCHEELITE. White, cream, yellow, brownish, redÂ dish, will not scratch glass, scratches copper coin, streak white.

CORUNDUM. Blue, gray, red, yellow, cannot be scratched by anything else, but diamond, \will scratch quartz easily. Pure variety is sapphire and red variety ruby. Both are very valuable gems.

DIAMOND. It may be colorless, white, red, blue, orange or even black. Will scratch even corundum and cannot be scratched by any mineral. Is heavier than quartz, briskly rubbed (wben dry) will flasb light ill tbe dark, becomes electric on rubbing.

Topaz. glassy, pale yellow and other shades, sel’Ht!’hes glass, is scratched only by corundnm and diamond.

If you find anything that gives the above tests, or closely resembles some of the above described minerals; take several samples and have them thoroughly tested in a laboratory. Since the find may be even more valuable than the gold itself. with an amateur it takes about 15 minutes to properly work one pan, while an experienced man is able to do it in 10 minutes or even less. Start with at least 15 minutes and gradually, as your skill increases, shorten the time of working. Especially towards the end of the process, when only a small quantity of material is left in the pan, the amount of waste washed out by water with every movement should gradually be smaller and smaller and the work should proceed more carefully.

Before starting on an actual prospecting trip get outdoors and near some stream practice panning, as follows: 1. Half fill the pan with soil and mud and try to wash the heavier particles of sand clean.

2. Repeat the same operation with sand, separating the lighter from the heavier particles.

3. Get some fine shot, preferably No. 12, count them and then mix thoroughly with sand and try to recover all of them by panning.

4. Mix some clean (not oily) iron filings and recover them by panning. To measure the degree of your efficiency, weigh filings before mixing and weigh the filings recovered, after preliminary thorough drying. 5. Get some gold filings from your dentist, weigh them, mix with sand and then try to recover by panning.

A day turquoise rockhounding near Kingman Arizona

A day turquoise rockhounding near Kingman Arizona

On a nice Monday morning me and the girls Marina age 8 and Morgan age 6 decided to go out and find some Turquoise. We headed out form Needles CA and headed north through Bullhead city to Route 68 towards Kingman, we took that to 93 and headed towards Vegas. Less then a few miles from there is a road called Mineral park road. well up that road a few miles then off road for a bit and you come to a pile of rocks that are dumped out of the mine as waste rock.

We were not on site for more then 2 min before we picked up our first piece of Turquoise. After the girls seen what we were after the treasure hunt begin. They were finding it every where and some were fairly large rocks with sizes from 8 to 10 inches.

Below is a picture of the girls and some of their finds while we were on site. Also note in the background is the rock pile we were working.

Now we had all the proper tools for the job but never really used them. We had and used the bucket to keep all the rocks in it and had to use a rock hammer a few times to loosen a few that were jammed in but other then that were just picking them up with no effort.

I would suggest if you’re going to spend some time there like more then a few hours get one of those 3 pronged rakes and maybe a set of good knee pads. We were there in just jeans and running shoes and had no problem.

below are a few pictures of what the turquoise will look like in the field, remember any thing that looks from green to blue is worth picking up and looking at.

If you’re interested in going to the site just email me and ill give you better directions to get there. If you have kids and are comfortable going off road this is a great afternoon for the family.

Does OAK ISLAND Have a 25,800 YEAR PRECESSION

Lost Treasure Hunter — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 03:53:28 +0000

The oak island heavens is yet to be investigated, the possibility the stars may have merit in solving oak island altogether may hold-true. Through out the ages man has been looking to the stars for answers whether its astrology or planetary alignments the earth’s center north pole and south pole axis play a role; 25,800 years to complete one earths axis wobble cycle.

Could it be possible the oak island stone triangle may be made by a advanced ancient nomadic culture that were knowledgeable in star-earth rotation? in the American continent the builders of the south American great temples,aztecs,mayan and even the olmecs would have this kind of sophisticated knowledge.

Just what could be in this area of nova scotia to have this very old construction built, solving the oak island stone triangle can give a answer when and possibility whom did this oak island setup. If the oak island stone triangle is a astronomical time dial of sorts does it mean the end of time or a beginning of time or somewhere in-between?

A time line in earth’s 25,800 year precession axis wobble would give a accurate raw date of this oak island setup right from the oak island stone triangle calendar. This is why the oak island stone triangle could not be deciphered because its meaning is more than likely is hidden in the earth’s precession axis wobble. With this egyptian spinx, pyramid star dating we could also apply this same 25,800 year earths wobble precession to this oak island triangle theory of mine.

We already know that the oak island stone triangle is pointing towards north, but is has a stone line through it that points in a more accurate direction north this is the precession line through the stone triangle of the earth wobble? In my believe the oak island money pit stone may have been trying to explain this precession in symbols, like the line through circle symbols (south/north). The south end of oak island where the stone triangle was discovered was a potential ancient astronomer star observatory area. You could only imagine what the birch island triangle star observatory area would tell you.

The birth of Birch Island in the oak island treasure hunt

Lost Treasure Hunter — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 22:05:29 +0000

By Keith Ranville

Oak Island, one of Nova Scotia’s most talked about mystery, the oak island popularity has dwindled in recent years, but since the Shag harbor investigation has received so much media attention, a new oak island theory has developed in Nova Scotia, a short time ago. For those that are new to the oak island treasure mystery, the mystery has been an ongoing controversy since the money pit was discovered in 1795. It was in 1803, a flat olive tinted oblong stone, with mysterious symbols was engineered out of the lengthily depths of the money pit.

The treasure stone was unsuccessfully ciphered, by the original founders of the money pit and later the stone was cemented into a fireplace on Oak Island for safe keeping. It wasn’t till many years later the stone was dislodged from the old fireplace, by a new generation of determined treasure hunters, and brought to a local linguistic school teacher for examination. Where it was given a satisfying reading for the eagerly awaiting treasure hunters. The linguistic school teachers symbol translations seemed, too made to order for a treasure hunt, but it was a acceptable cipher, for the group of treasure hunters, to assume funds to further there oak island excavation’ exploration.

“Forty feet below two million pounds are buried” was believe to be the translation by the linguistic School teacher. Never the less, the controversial cipher, did not solve anything or give no clues, other than the treasure was in an “x” amount of feet in the ground somewhere?

It wasn’t until summer 2005, a new oak island money pit stone translations came out of obscurity, a translation I made, that’s indifferent from the past, made to order school teacher cipher. My new translations of the symbols wasn’t based on a swap for character symbols for letters, but, a translation that was translated as easy as describing the shapes of the inscriptions themselves. But the triangle clues, on the money pit stone is what caught my eye the most, they gave me incentive to search for triangle images on, and around Oak Island.

(The birth of Birch Island)
Is there something to this new money pit symbol cipher? Well the previous cipher explains what may be under ground somewhere? My translation tells a story, of what to look for on Oak Island and what to search for around Oak Island. Some can say, my new oak island symbol translation could be made to order like the linguistic school teachers, treasure hunt driven cipher. But, this does not explain the newly discovered large island triangle clue, I made from my money pit symbol’ research translations, nobody new about the birch island triangle, until I disclosed it from my ongoing research.

Birch Island triangle, a second treasure island in a bay of about 500 islands off the coast of Nova Scotia and neighbors, Oak Island. The birch island triangle’s surface takes up a large portion of the island, with the triangle pointing in a southerly direction. Another triangle clue that also strengthens my triangle theory, this would be the oak island stone triangle formation, a well documented triangle clue, which was found south of the money pit. This also led me to the discovery of Birch Island.

Ever want to write a Lost Treasure Hunting book

Lost Treasure Hunter — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 05:49:19 +0000

Calling all the treasure hunters and metal detectors and general
rockhounds out there, its time to write that book you have been
talking about for ever. Let’s get it from your head to other
peoples hands. And by doing so you might actually make more money
then you spend in this hobby, it’s to late for me I will always be
buying a bigger motor home or a better dredge or detector, but there
may still be hope for you. Stephanie my lovely wife still lets me
believe it’s ok to enjoy the things you love to do and it’s not
really a disease lol.

Yes I know what your thinking where’s mine, lol, well it has taken
this long to find someone willing to do my editing, Having been
educated in a public school in southwestern PA has left my basic
English skills a bit lacking, I was able to get through college,
even though that took 20 years while I was traveling around the
world the whole time, by doing the minimum in any thing related to
an English class, could be why I ended up with an engineering
degree. Ok back to the editor, I have finally found someone that
looks at it as a challenge, to take my words and make them
presentable to the general public and not go running out of the
room crying and screaming.

Dr Cynthia Porter has agreed to take on the task of making my work
grammatically correct, now I think she is actually using me for
another thesis of how some one can do every thing there is to do
wrong in the English language, do it really wrong and still tell a
story that will be of interest to others, but only time and another
PHD for Cynthia will tell me if I am right on that one. So take a
few minutes and visit her blog at
http://www.aspiringwritersresources.com/
And if you have a desire to ever write a book or novel get on her
mailing list also.

Now back to getting you published, its a lot easier then you think,
with all the new changes in the internet there are so many options
to going for a straight ebook or doing self publishing where the
books are printed and shipped as they are ordered so there is no
out of pocket cost to the author.

If there is any interest from any of the readers I will continue
with this series and cover more and more and even make some of our
products available to those that are trying.

If your not sure your ready to jump into the book right away there
are a lot of other things you should be doing to get ready from the
basic squidoo lenses I covered in a previous one and is totally
free so if you haven’t get signed up there and even if you don’t do
a lenses help by rating the lens of the people out there doing
something to advance the treasure hunting and metal detecting
hobby. That free sign up is
http://www.squidoo.com/lensmaster/referral/gregmulac

And to doing a blog like the one I directed you to of Cynthia’s or
my treasure one also. here there are options and the only
determining factor is the amount you want to invest in it, it goes
from free to a lot, so it all depends on what your end goal is, if
its the hobby and making a few extra dollars the free route is
fine, If your looking to retire its going to take some investment.

So again let me know by either email, a comment on the blog or get
to me some how and I will continue this if there is any one out
there that it can help.

And in case you’re interested I work on the book regularly now that
I got someone to finally fix it for me, still working on a title
and may do something where I get the readers to suggest one or have
a contest with the best ones receiving some great prizes.

Still having fun in Vegas, so if your out west let me know.

OAK ISLAND TREASURE MYSTERY

Lost Treasure Hunter — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 21:29:22 +0000

In the median summer of 1795 three young men journeyed to a deserted island off the coast of Nova Scotia. Daniel McGinnis lead the expedition, exploring their newly discovered island now known as Oak Island.

Daniel and his two friends Anthony Vaughan and John Smith came across a round pattern encircled into the ground next to a large oak tree with a branch and a decayed wooden pulley over hanging this sunken earth area. It was presumed to be some kind of pirate treasure cache marking.

This was the beginning of an era that aroused fortune seekers for well over 200 years. Many years later the aged men Daniel, Anthony and John exhausted all their time and energy digging into this challenging treasure pit.

Many generations of treasure seekers carried the McGinnis burden of failing the money pit. Six lives were lost trying to find the treasure secret, along with many other treasure hunters gone to there graves defeated by the Oak Island pit.

The money pit is located on the eastern region of Oak Island, the pit itself has been engineered to depths well over 200 feet over the years. Smiths cove, an artificial beach area close to the money pit is connected by a man-made tunnel. In 1803 a mysterious etched stone was found 90+ feet down in the pit but it went missing in Halifax

Smiths cove also turned up a stone with similar etchings that was reportedly found on the money pit stone. A stone formation of a triangle was found south of the money pit, but it was destroyed by past treasure hunters.

The analysis of Oak Island clues may have changed the direction of the treasure hunt altogether according to me Keith Ranville a now prominent First Nations Oak Island researcher. I examined the Oak Island clues with my native studies, which lead the treasure hunt off Oak Island to a large triangle on an island called Birch Island, located east of Oak Island.

Three centuries have conjoined since the 1795 discovery and treasure hunters are still actively working on solving this Oak Island mystery. Oak Island itself has changed hands many times over the years but treasure hunters still reside on the island. Yearly, early summer annual information potluck gatherings happen in celebration of the history of Oak Island. http://oakislandmoneypitblogspotcom.blogspot.com/

MAYAN TEMPLE IN ROSSLYN CHAPEL

Lost Treasure Hunter — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 22:44:28 +0000

Oak Island Treasure News
“Da Vinci code” continue’s to Mayan civilization, Keith Ranville’s
Rosslyn chapel research gives a updated clue of a Mayan temple depicted
in Rosslyn’s Chapel’s mason art. Rosslyns new world corn,
beneath the Corn a Maya ruin in the Rosslyn chapel.

Rosslyn Indian New world Corn wasn’t known to Europeans yet,
this is as mysterious as finding coconut husk in the Money pit
Keith Ranville ‘’Corn and aloe are prominent plants in the new world
all but one Rosslyn plant images was imported by the European explorers
to the new world. With these Rosslyn plant clues I searched for more
possible clues in the Meso civilizations, Mayan architectural art and
block writing gave some indication that there maybe a relation in art
and block writing. My Discovery of a Maya temple in the Rosslyn chapel
gave futrher indication of Sinclair-Maya connection. This depiction of
a Maya temple in the Rosslyn church is a remarkable discovery, this gives
the Sinclair new world expedition a lot more exploration credit than realized
by scholars. The Rosslyn Maya temple is a significant discovery for New World history”.

Aquamarine Gemstones Once Believe To Have Magical Powers

Lost Treasure Hunter — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:44:50 +0000

As legend would have it, out on the deep blue sea, the pirates and sailors often found themselves in a passionate love/fear relationship with the ocean. It was the ocean that would carry them to distant shore but it was the fury of the waves that could tear their ship apart and pull them all down to the depths of the ocean. It was not uncommon for the sailors to find solace in the believed power of the aquamarine gemstone.

The Deep Blue Sea Is Found Onshore In A Gemstone

Aquamarine is a gemstone that gets it’s name from two Latin words that mean water and sea. This gemstone can vary in color from pale blue to blue green, the colors of the ocean. It is said that when the stone is held underwater, it seems to completely disappear.

History Finds The Aquamarine Gemstone Provides Wisdom And Strength

It is written in history that ancient sailors once traveled with aquamarine crystals, sleeping with them tucked under their pillows at night. These crystals were said to provide safe passage during sea travel. Many sailors believed that the mermaids’ tails were made of aquamarine.

Aquamarine has always held a popular place in ancient folklore and mythology. In the Middle Ages, it was believed that aquamarine could provide security from the fatal effects of poisoning.

In Ancient Greece, this gemstone was considered to bestow great wisdom on individuals; statues were built that symbolized power and strength. For the statue’s eyes, aquamarine gemstones were placed into the statue. It was believed that anyone that looked upon these statues would become filled with great wisdom and power and that the individual would suddenly possess the ability to see the future. Many times these statues were placed along the shoreline to calm Poseidon and to insure safe travel for ships headed out to sea.

There Is Beauty And Value In The Color Blue

Aquamarine is a very beautiful stone, the largest ever mined was found in Brazil in 1910. It weighed over 110 kg and it was 48.5 cm long and 42 cm in diameter. Today, many of the gemstones are heated to increase the depth of the blue. When buying an aquamarine gemstone, it is important to remember that the deeper the blue the more valued the stone becomes.

Aquamarine gemstones are Colorado’s state gem. They are also the birth gemstone for the month of March and the 19th wedding anniversary gemstone.
