点评:We chise the privat hand dig at the claim to get our gravel. This sapphire mine was a lot of work, but the quality of the material was well worth it. We met at the shop to register our group and were treated to a beautiful drive while being escorted to the claim by our host, Russell. After classifying our material and bagging it, we stop by the York Bar and Grill for adult beverages before stopping back at the shop to go through our gravel. We only had time to search through 2 of our 6 bags. Ty looked through our finds and identified Sapphires faceted quality. We asked for pricing and left him with some work. The scenery was splendid and finding facet quality gemstones was icing on the cake. Our teenage son ranks this as the best part of the trip. When we see the sun at home again, we will search the remaining gravel. Russell, Ty, Crystel and the rest of the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. I can't wait until I can visit again!
翻译:我们雇佣了私人采掘队来帮助我们开采砾石。这个蓝宝石矿的开采过程相当辛苦,但产出的矿石质量绝对物有所值。我们在商店里登记组队信息后,由向导拉塞尔驾车带我们前往矿区,一路上风景美不胜收。将开采出的矿石分类并装袋之后,我们先去约克酒吧喝了几杯,随后回到商店继续筛选砾石。不过我们只来得及检查完6袋矿石中的2袋而已。Ty仔细查看了我们找到的矿石,并识别出其中具有刻面品质的蓝宝石。我们询问了价格,还交给他一些后续处理的工作。那里的景色美不胜收,能找到具备刻面品质的宝石更是锦上添花。我们的十几岁的儿子认为这是这次旅行中最棒的部分。等回到家后,我们还会继续筛选剩下的砾石。Russell、Ty、Crystel以及其他工作人员都知识渊博且热情友善。我迫不及待地想再次造访!
