Gem Mining In Blue Ridge Ga Novels & Stories

The silence here wasn't the peaceful quiet of the sanctuary; it was the airless, metallic weight of an industrial grave. Below us, Iron Ridge sat nestled in the throat of a collapsed silver mine like a crown of rusted iron and shattered glass. Toxic neon indigo flickered through the haze—advertisements for bootleg silver-salt and black-market adrenaline that had no business being so bright in a world that had forgotten the sun.

It was perfectly intact, without a single bruised petal. Harmer glanced at Michael, a smug grin on his face. “Impressive, isn't she? I’ll give her to you as a gift.” “What’s the catch?” Michael asked, finally playing along with the old man's game. “The mine behind your Realgar Mountain.” “The gold there isn't as plentiful as you’d imagine,” Michael countered. Harmer’s grin widened. “It’s not the gold I’m after. It's arsenic. The deposits must be massive if mined correctly.”

The news of the 200 billion dollar project hit the business world like a lightning strike. Within minutes of Melvis Blake hitting the send button, every major news outlet in the country stopped their regular programs to report the massive announcement. The name Blue Core Mine was suddenly on every television screen and every social media feed. It was a staggering amount of money that promised to change the jewelry industry forever. Yet, in the middle of this digital storm, some people were still living in the past.

I saw tiny diamond falling inside the cave. I looked up at the top of the cave to see where it was coming from but I didn't see anything, it was like it was falling from thin air. It was so amazing. I stretched my hand to catch the one of the diamond which fell on my open palm, it was cold. "Do you like it" I heard Derek voice and I looked up to him , he was staring back at me with his blue eyes. "I love it" I said. " I know you will " he smiled at me making him look more handsome and then he walked close to me and held my left hand.

“By the way, Alpha Villion… I wanted to suggest something. Since you’re now using your own treasures to secure alliances, there’s a chance your assets might eventually run out. So I’d like to recommend that, if we ever have the time, we search for more active mining locations. That way, when your current reserves are depleted, you already have a secured place to replace them.” “That won’t be easy,” I replied. Nearly everything in our territory is gold. It takes a long series of processes before we can even form a single gold bar. What I’m aiming for are solid gems, stones that only need polishing to remove the bits of rock, dirt, or clay sticking to them. Less hassle and less time wasted.”

Maybe it's even more stunning than this ruby. "How'd you sleep last night, Charles?" Butcher asked, coming out of the lounge and strolling over to his desk. "Not bad." I felt like he was going to say some more nonsense, and I didn't want to waste any more time, so I cut to the chase. "Let's go straight to the mining." "Well, that's what we're here for," Butcher said slowly, taking two mugs from the cupboard behind him and making coffee. “The mine is on Red Rock Mountain. Oh, you can see it from here. It's the highest peak in the southwest.” Butcher handed me a cup of coffee.

I ask. Hayden’s eyes get huge. “Is that how you guys got so rich?” I chuckle. “No. My family never discovered any, but one of Jenni’s ancestors did back in the early 1800s in a nearby town in Georgia called Dahlonega. And so did Gordon.” Jenni hands me a roasting stick with a hotdog perched on the end, and I poke it into the flames, with her doing the same from her end of the fire.

Otis replied with a wicked smile. Blake and the women arrived at the gates of the Diamond facility mine, and he looked up at the company name “Elon South Africa Mining Co.” Blake smiled and walked over to the security office to be granted entrance to the company. After confirming his credentials, they gave him a pass to enter the facility with one of the guards to lead him to the primary office. Upon arrival, they entered and met with the receptionist there to announce their arrival.

David Lidell and the other two went toward their first stop, which was the nearest mine. Planet Buck was rich in a certain kind of ore that could be extracted and refined into low-grade metal. Even if its value was not great, large volumes of it could be worth quite a lot. If not, the Grim family would not have sent so many people there. Julius Grim’s task was to control the indigenous people so they would mine ores and refine them into metal. The Grim family would be there to collect it once every few decades.

Kai said. Silver? There was fucking silver in the land we lived on? It must be deep in the ground then, because none of us had ever seen or felt it. There were mountains near our pack, that was part of the reason we were difficult to find. I didn’t know shit about mining silver though. Kai sniffed the air, “excuse me, I’m being mindlinked. You three can finish the rest of the meeting. I will see you at lunch.”
