Pls I want to mine out the emerald in a rock body roughly the size of a plot of land. It has been confirmed before to contain emerald and we have also seen beryl in the surrounding area. Don't know if to blast it as dat may destroy the emeralds in case its close to the surface. Or would dexpan work in this situation maybe safer. Or how can I can go about it to get the emerald safely out of this hard rock without damaging it
My understanding is that emeralds form in a super heated mud layer trapped beneath a hard rock volcanic flow. If this is true of your prospect then you would break up the hard rock searching for the softer (may be dry and firm) mud layer that can be worked with hand tools. I would suggest a jack hammer for exploring as it's good at breaking hard rock but doesn't go deep too fast and won't shatter the deeper stones.
Hi Just curious what a heavily included translucent 21cts of emerald would cost that is of octagon shape and is treated with only cedar oil. (No evidence of heat treatment). It maybe be good quality. I'm hope some could give me a rough idea please even if it's a market or commercial value. Thanking everyone for there time.
