September Sapphires? Try Mining Your Own!

Want a truly unique gift for that September birthday? Why not mine your own Sapphires? At the Spokane Bar Sapphire Mine in Helena, Montana visitors can mine through the gravel for sapphires, garnets and other gemstones. If you can't make it to Montana (which you really should), you can order a piece of the mine and dig for Sapphires from the comfort of your own home. Several packages are available - with and without guaranteed gemstones. Directions are provided and a coupon for faceting services - to turn rough stones into jewelry quality stones - is included. This is an incredibly neat gift idea. Their website has much more detail. Visit them here and http://www.sapphiremine.com/.
