80 carat Pink Sapphire/Ruby from Treasure Valley

This past Sunday after Church went to the valley looking for rubies & sapphires and hadn't found anything and was getting ready to leave and I walked by where I had high banked some material about 3 years ago and looked at the tailing pile from off the back and something with color caught my eye and there it was, the largest I've found to date (79.69 carats).  I'm an idiot when it comes to taking and posting pictures, I had my son take a couple of pictures and email them to me and I tried to copy & paste but that didn't work.  I'll try to get someone to post the picture for me, sorry about that.  If it gets posted the coin is a quarter in the picture.  Treasure Valley is my place in McDowell County, NC if someone wants to post it by the county. Color maybe a little too light to call a ruby.
