About this claim
The Emerald Creek Star Garnet Area is a unique prospecting site where members have reported the opportunity to dig for garnets, specifically the state gem of Idaho. Access requires a daily dig permit, which is available on-site, and members typically use pans for collecting garnets, as no motorized equipment is permitted. It is advised to wear old clothing due to the staining properties of the red clay in the area. Some reports note that the site has been closed in the past, so checking current conditions before visiting is recommended.
