Hi Rebel, Your best bet is to go up on route 8 north of Stuart, Va. They have shops and mines up there where you can mine your own fairystones or purchase some they have in the shop.
If you want to find fairystones at Fairystone Park your best bet is to search the small streams running into the reservoir. Around Fairystone Park are several worked iron mines and tram roads you may have luck looking around them. The fairystones will be single stones around the creeks, however you should look for larger round stones, bring a hammer and crack them open they should be filled with fairystones.
They say there was a Colony of Angels living near Fairystone and when they got the word of Jesus Christ being crucified that the Angels Tears formed the fairystones. Good Luck.

;D THANKS! Just got back today... didn't see yer "post" before we left. Wife & I had a nice time... it was her "Vision Quest"; swam in the lake at Fairy Stone State Park (NEVER been down that way). Stayed in Collinsville, north of Martinsville at the Knights Inn. She found some FS behind the gas station; almost went to Fairy Stone Outlet. Woulda gone to Stuart, Va. and WILL, next time. Went into Martinsville to see Natural History Museum & later, the Art Museum. Came home on Blue Ridge Parkway & Meadows of Dan surprised me... ppl live UP THERE! Wealthy woman from NYC started a Candy-Making Factory UP THERE... hiring local ppl; WOW! AMAZING to us, was ppl still living on the meadows & ridges, etc as we neared Rt. 460... Going into Montvale, Va., we were HOME!

I talked on the telephone with an old timer that lived up at the Meadows of Dan. I arranged a meeting for him to take me to a farm. He related a story to me that was unbelievable but true. He said there was a farm under one of those ridges. The lady that owned the farm had a lot of chickens. The only problem was her chickens were choking themselves. Guess what they were choked by?
Gold nuggets. He told me that the woman's chickens were eating corn and at the same time eating large gold nuggets and they choked to death. Well I was going to meet this man with his amazing story. But the next time I tried contacting he had passed away. Never did find out where the farm was located. He said a neighbor of the lady with chickens had a one pound coffee can half way filled with gold nuggets and was using it for a door stop. Sounds like a swell place to start a hunt. As I know there is some gold mines at the base of the mountain before you start up towards the Meadows of Dan. This seam of gold runs all the way through Wytheville and on through Tazewell County into Kentucky. There are also loose diamonds to be found at the Meadows of Dan. Damn now I wish I lived up there. Good luck if anyone wants to go look but please ask for permission from the landowners.
