Kirsten and the crew head to the quaint mountain town of Julian, CA, in search of tourmaline. After a trip down a dusty, rocky road in an SUV, Kirsten and Himalaya Tourmaline Mine owner, Chris Rose, head down 200 feet into the mine. The dynamic pair wash the debris off their finds and uncover some huge chunks of tourmaline, which appraised for $6,000. Wow! Interested in tourmaline hunting? Plan your hunt now!
The Himalaya Tourmaline Mine is near beautiful Mesa Grande in San Diego County, 20 miles east of Pala. The cost is currently $50 per person, which will allow you access to the mine for gem-screening all day. Due to limited space, reservations can be made. They are open all year. You can also purchase a bag of "pocket mud" to screen Himalaya Mine tourmaline at home for $20.
