Assayers in Washington, D.C. could tell by looking that gold ore was from the Coosa Mines because it was “the yellowest gold” submitted and its brilliant color set it apart.[11] GeographyAccording to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of {{convert|1.1|sqmi|km2}}, all land. ClimateBlairsville has a humid subtropical climate, yet due to its elevation of {{convert|1883|ft|0}}, typically records far lower temperatures at night than what is encountered in much of the Southeastern U.S., and has slightly higher precipitation totals ({{convert|56|in|sigfig=3|disp=or}} annually) than most locations in the state; the average diurnal temperature variation exceeds {{convert|25|F-change}} in each of the spring and autumn months.
