Best gemstone mining! - Had a great time gemstone mining! The staff was friendly and helpful. I got the green giant bucket. I found some beautiful stones like quartz, amethyst, rubies, a large geode, and tiger eyes. Inside the shop, there was a wide variety of polished stones and miscellaneous items. Prices were reasonable, and everything was beautifully displayed. Perfect for families, couples, or anyone interested in geology or treasure hunting. I left with a bag of gems and a big smile. Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!

A fun visit for the whole family - A fun gem mine with covered seating. I love that there was plenty of space for families so no one was hunched over a tray. Instead we all got to sit and watch as the kids mined their gems. The buckets our kids got had plenty of gems and kept them entertained. The store was a fun collection of things as well
