Emerald Creek Garnet Area
There are only two places in the world you can find Star Garnets - India and in the Idaho Panhandle National Forests! The garnets found here are called "star garnets" because of a unique property that causes some of them to display a reflection like a four or six pointed star. India is the only other place in the world where star garnets like these are found in any quantity.
The 12-sided (dodecahedron) crystals found here range in size from sand particles to golf-ball or larger size. Gem quality faceting material is also found at the Garnet Area.
The Forest Service has developed the Garnet Area as a place where the public may collect these unique gems in a safe and environmentally friendly way. In the past, people would dig in the stream bed in search of the garnets. Now, due to concerns for water quality, aquatic habitat, and public safety, the Forest Service provides a stockpile of garnet bearing gravels from which people can gather material to run through one of two sluice boxes in search of garnets. Learn more
Directions: From St. Maries, Idaho, follow Highway 3 south 24 miles to Road 447. Proceed southwest 8 miles on Road 447 to the parking area. Permits, information, and the sluice area are a 1/2 mile hike up 281 Gulch. Be aware that there is considerable logging traffic in the vicinity of the Garnet Area. Please drive with care!
Sprag Pole Museum
Located in Murray, Idaho and twenty miles from Wallace along Dobson Pass Road. At the height of the mining boom, Murray was a city of several thousand, complete with a thriving red light district. Murray was one of several boisterous mining camps that became active in the late 1880s in Northern Idaho. Mines operated in the area from the 1880s to the 1950s. A Northern Pacific railroad line served the community for two years during the 1910s.
Today, around six original buildings remain standing, including a tiny post office, a fire station, and two bars, including the Sprag Pole Inn (built in 1884). You can visit the free 10,000-square-foot history museum which features everything from a restored 1904 carnival organ to antique mining and logging tools including The World’s Longest Carved Wooden Chain. This 121-foot-long wooden chain was carved by Walt Almquist, builder of the Sprag Pole Museum and long-time resident of Murray.
