Picking Natural Sapphire Crystals from a Washed Concentrate at Gem Mountain Sapphire Mine Near Philipsburgh, Montana

gemmtsph1

You just bought a bucket of sapphire-containing concentrate from the nice people at Gem Mountain. They showed you how to screen and concentrate the gravel by jigging in a pool of water. You have skillfully flipped your screen onto a table top and you are ready to pluc up those sapphires! I've pgot the first on in my forceps. Can you "speck" the rest? If you are having trouble spotting the crystals mouse over here.
