Last year I went to one of those buy a bucket thing just because I have never done it and wanted to see what real gems in the rough looked like. Well I got one of there buckets that was mixed with what they dig on there land and what they buy brought in from NC. Anyhoo while the guy was therre helping me, he would say "OH my" every once in a while and pull out gems before I flushed the dirt. Comes to find out I got some that even surprised him and They are big. But my problem is I don't know where to have them appraised at a honest place. So if any of you know of a honest gem appraiser or cutter or what ever you call them let me know please. I have garnets, sapphires, turquoise, moonstone, agates, rubies and a whole lot more. Mostly small but all cutable as he said.
