A couple of times my husband just took our own buckets to NC and bought bucketsful of gem material and brought it back so we could mine it in our own backyard. It was a lot easier when our older girls were little.

To find corundum (rubies and sapphires), you look for six-sided stones. The rhodolites kind of stand out because they're hot pink.
