Hello beautiful people!!! This is a post to let everyone know about the mine because everyone is asking to come dig. We are going to do our best to have everything ready by May, this mine is producing what has been concidered by many, including two of the worlds most well known quartz scientists as the "best amethyst deposit in the world" there have been several articles in major magazines in the last couple of years, the Mineralogical Record Nov/Dec issue of '05 and it was also featured on the Travel Channel's "Cash & Treasures". For those who do not know, the mine is in Northern Georgia just do a web search on the Jackson's Crossroads Amethyst Mine. Please pass the word and be sure to send an email to diggerledford@yahoo.com to get a notification email as soon as we release the date of opening. Here's the official letter to send out to email lists etc. Much Love to ALL!!!
Hello Everyone,
It is official, the Jackson's Crossroads Amethyst Mine will be open to the public. We are currently working on the property to have it open to the public for people to pay to dig their own amethyst. We hopefully will have it open by the end of April so people can come dig their own crystals for a standard fee (group discounts and fees are available). Standard "Dump digging" will be $20 or $25 a day. The exact date the mine will be opening hasn't been set yet but if you are interested in coming down and digging please to send an email to diggerledford@yahoo.com and you will get an email notification as soon as we are ready to open and begin scheduling.
It is very important for anyone who wishes to be put on the schedule to send an email to this address and write in the subject line: "JXR List". Everyone who sends an email with "JXR List" in the subject line will be put on an email list and notified when the mine is open, after the first notification of opening we will use the same email list to begin scheduling. The email list is going to be the main medium used to organize and schedule the fee digging operation.
Christopher Ryan is going to be dealing with scheduling so please do not call Terry regarding scheduling. If you have any questions please feel free to send the question to the same email address and we will try to answer you within 72 hrs. We are excited to be able to keep this awesome mine open to the public and we can't wait to see you there!!!
Thank You,
The Jackson's Crossroads Mining Team
