Gems are found all over the world from the diamond mines in Africa, to the gold mines in South America. The most common gem is quartz, while rubies, diamonds, and gold are rare. The easiest way to find gems is from river gravel. Most gems like gold, emerald, rubies, calcite, moonstone, and amethyst are found in river gravel, which is sometimes taken to places where you can mine gems yourself. To sift for gems, you need a sifter, scrubber brush, a river, and a lot of luck. All you need to do is go to a place in the river where storms push a lot of gravel into, put two scoops of dirt in it, put it in water, and scrub the brush around and around for about 30 seconds, and take it out of water and look. Gems can easily be mistaken for worthless pebbles, so look closely. Here's a tip on how to identify if you have gems or not. All gems have six sides, so you can hardly miss them, unless your eyes don't work well. If you have a stream or river in your back yard, get a sifter. Precious gems are around there somewhere.
