Summer Rock Hound Tour

We'll be exploring a river that was widened by the recent floodwaters, searching for beautiful stones like citrine, peridot, moonstone, unakite, ruby, and sapphire. We've found these gems on the property before the hurricane, so it’s a great opportunity to learn what we look for when checking if a site is perfect for a rock-hounding adventure.
