I went here today and had so much fun spending quality time with my family on a little girls trip. The staff was super nice! Wish I had paid more attention to their names. We found quite a few really nice gems. Will definitely go back if I’m ever up in the Boone area again

My family of 4 stopped by this morning on our way out of town. We were the first ones in the shop at opening and were greeted by smiling(under their masks : 😃)and friendly associates. We got the big daddy bucket to split and had a blast sitting through and finding our treasures! When we were finished we brought them inside and Cole sorted them all and told us what they were. He was patient with all of our kids questions(and ours!) and was extremely knowledgeable. We were excited to find that we could choose a gem to be cut ... read more

We were there today and out of all the gem mines that I have been to the y are the best by far. The staff was very eager to help you and answer any questions that you might have. We bought the motherlode bucket and got about 20 lbs of very nice assorted gems. Rubies, emeralds and sapphires along with other types. We got to pick 3 of the other gems to have cut for free. My wife was happy she got some new rings and necklaces. 5 star rated!!!

Spent some time Boone (currently live in Miami). My son lives in NC . Boone is my favorite place next to my birthplace in France. My husband and I are retiring in Boone in summer 2021. My son took us to Foggy Mountain Gem Mine and we had so much fun. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. I love pink quartz and found so much of it as well as other stones. I made a ring of the pink quartz and it was sent to Miami with a beautiful card from Wendy, the Customer Service Manager. Thank you Wendy! It’s my favorite ring! It’s beautiful... read more
