Lake County is home to a semi-precious stone found nowhere else in the world, the Lake County "diamond". They have a rating of 7.5 - 8 on the Moh hardness scale, compared to real diamonds rated at 10. They have been used commercially and industrially and are capable of cutting glass. They are in great demand as semi-precious gems, and may be set uncut for a rough, natural look or cut and faceted to give them a fire which compares to the brilliance of real diamonds. Our stones are pieces of silica which are released from basalt deposites during rains and lay scattered over the hillsides.
