In search of a facetable gem stone (garnet).

Today we went to Big Silver Creek behind Harrison lake to see if we could find a garnet big enough to facet (cut into a gem stone) This pace is at the 34 km mark up the Harrison East forest service road. This is an active logging road and during logging hour you must use a resource road radio. Otherwise you will get squashed by a large logging truck. The garnets are everywhere. But unfortunately we did not find that one big one for faceting.
