Why Are There 96,000,000 Red Gem Stones on This Beach!


From watching part of this video, I didn't catch where this place was, but I gather it is too far from Georgia to consider a visit.

Not quite the same thing, but one of my Geo-Bucket List items is to see and get some samples of the garnet beach sands at Montauk Point, Long Island, NY.  There was a fair percentage of garnets in the local shoreline sands along the Hudson River, in front of the Portside Towers in Jersey City.  The source of the NJ garnets was the outcrops of metamorphic rocks and the erosion of glacial till upriver and nearby.
