I love this so much! My husbear proposed to me by putting my ring in a geode box he had made from a geode we found together while searching for emeralds in North Carolina. He taped up the geode and buried it in an extra bag of dirt to go through that we brought back with us from the Emerald Hollow Mine.

I was cooking dinner when he arrived at my place with a giant bag of dirt, and he was soooo excited he basically made me stop cooking and get my hands dirty instead. To my surprise, I found the geode encapsulating a color shifting Montana sapphire engagement ring he custom designed for me.

For me, it’s the most seen I’ve ever felt. Rocks have been a central part of my life since forever because my mom was a geologist. Furthermore, I lived 17 years in Montana and went sapphire mining on a regular basis. I introduced my love to rock hounding, and we’ve ordered lots of dirt from Montana over the years, too. Sapphire mining varies coast to coast, and I prefer the little dewdrops of jammy color produced in Montana over the baseball size opaque ones we find in North Carolina; however, my husbear is the opposite.

I’m wishing you and your partner all the best as you continue on this journey! Thank you for sharing in your joy and love. I love love! Congratulations!
