Whoever would have thought that one could find piles of gems right here on the Bob Jones Academy campus? That was exactly what happened as the BJA third-graders went on a mining adventure with Diamond Del. With a trailer renovated to replicate the look and feel of a mine and a basket for sifting out their treasures, the students were ready to find their own gems. This mining experience gave students a firsthand look at the rocks and minerals they have been studying about in science class. Each student left with a bag full of gems to identify and classify. Be alert! You may just find a rare gem on the campus—we certainly saw some!
