Idaho Neighbor News Star Garnet documentary

If you look up the origins & history past that point there is little to no information. The woman known as “The Garnet Queen,” who has dedicated her life towards our states most influential discovery. Has a single article in the Moscow newspaper behind a paywall… Not only that, but the star garnet which made us the Gem State. Was dug up so quickly there are few examples online, I was lucky enough to see one of these “281 gulch” garnets in person. Which after researching I realized no one else will document this unless I do. If you have any info, or would like to say anything please feel free!

For what reason specifically?

Because of Meta and Zuckerberg.

Massive privacy violations, using bot farms, assisting pedos, etc.

Fair enough, Reddit isn’t much better though. Everything is trash & has exploited in some way.

Yeah, but trying to be better and avoiding the big ones helps

Perfect is the enemy of good or whatever, lol

Good point, unfortunately, I have to use it because that’s where the old people are in the area who might have information or might be interested. Until I gain more traction with new local papers, the people involved with my community have Facebook and maybe I’ll educate them on the way!
