The main gem-collecting counties are Alexander (emeralds and hiddenite), Macon (rubies, sapphires, and garnets), and Mitchell (emeralds and aquamarine).

What area of NC do you want climate info on?

There is a man name Ron Haven in Franklin,NC that owns a couple of motels.Sapphire Inn and Havens Budget Inn.If you are in that area and stop by he can steer you into some places where you can find a lot of gemstones.We found a 340 carat sapphire at a mine he sent us to.He is really friendly and seems glad to help you.I met him at that big wholesaler gem show they have in Franklin during July.
