Emeralds in the Uinta Mountains.

Apparently there have three emeralds found in the Uinta Mountains.  These emeralds were all found at the same location.  They were found where the south flank fault crosses the Blindstream Road on the way to Arta Lake.  The GPS coordinates are given on page 184 of Following the Legends by Dale Bascom.  The details of the find are on pages 183-186 of the same book.

I had heard about these emeralds for some time.  I was told on a phone call that they were found as the result of a tunnel that had been bored through a mountain.  That's not the case here so there may be other emeralds out there.  I ran across the south flank story on the Ancient Lost Treasure forum while doing some research.  I went through a few steps on a quest to find more about them.  Following are the steps: 

1.  Read that they were found at the head of the south fork of Rock Creek and that they were mentioned in Dale's book.  
2.  Read that they were found where the fault crosses the road and some water also seeps out at this location.
3.  I read the account in Dale's book and that conclusion was that the emeralds were associated with the fault.  I didn't want to believe it.
4.  I confirmed that they likely are not there because of the fault through other research of my own.

When Dale wrote his book this location had a mining claim on it.  Currently it does not have a mining claim on it.  That's OK with me because I have no intention of putting a mining claim at this location.  I will say that I am continuing my research and will likely do a field trip in the near future.
