HERE'S SOMETHING TO SHOUT ABOUT - Now the shouting about a large and fabulous sap
phire find can start all over, and this time. It's Clay County's turn D do the shouting again.
The 12 pound blue sapphire speclman shown above was found recently by Arvll Long of Clay
County. Mr. and Mrs. Long live two miles from the High Bridge on the Hlawassee Road.
Since finding the larger specimen, he has found 23 smaller sapphires In his back yard. The
large sapphire Is rated at a number 9 hardness and It takes a number 10 rated diamond wheel
to cut It. Mr. Long says he has been offered $300 for the speclman. (Scout Photo)
12 Pound Sapphire Is found
Hayesvllle ? "I was out
In the garden looking for a
snake my wife said she saw
out there, when I found this
large blue sapphire specimen
sticking out of the ground,"
said Arivl Long ot Clay
Coimty. Mr. Long attended the
monthly meeting of the Tri
State Rockhounders Club, Inc.

One rockhound member said
that Arthur Palmer of Marble
