Gem Collecting Journeys of Clint and Caroline Wallace
Clint and Caroline Wallace share a passion for gem collecting spanning Arkansas to Pennsylvania, later focusing on the Appalachian area. They promote Cowee Valley Ruby Mines for high quality rubies and sapphires, study geology at Gulf Coast Junior College, join local gem societies, master cabochon and later faceting, win Best in Show at the Tri-State Fair, and advise reading on gems while noting accessible finds near home and the value of patient skill.
