Fieldtrip Report:

Black Mountain Kyanite and Sapphire,
Buncombe County, N.C.,
September 10th, 2005

____________________

Many times when you find the larger sapphires at this site, they have little color and are white with just a hint of blue, the ones we found today all showed an excellent deep blue color from the small ones up to the largest ones I saw.
