Diamonds in Georgia Spark in Dahlonega Myth and Mystery
A 1901 Atlanta piece reports Georgia diamonds with Senator McAfee asserting true finds in north Georgia. It cites a Lumpkin county stone once tested as a perfect first water gem worn by a Atlanta lady, and recounts a Hall county tale debunked as myth. The Lumpkin find traces to Jonathan Hampton in 1851 who sold it to Major Frank Logan then Dr. Banks of Banks county.
