Fun little place to kill some time on a rainy day. Super friendly and laid back staff!
My 3 kids loved it! So much that we had to buy an extra bucket! Super friendly staff!
Fun gem mine. We did the $70 dollar bucket & had a pretty good gem haul with lots of large gems. I’ve been to gem mines that gave better info & diagnostics of the gems you found though, but still a fun place. They should sell items in the store for you to use to display & store gems you save without having them cut. Would recommend & would go back.
Great staff, and a unique experience. We bought the Motherlode, the big bucket, and within two hours had an amazing haul of at least a dozen gem types bagged. The panning and washing makes for a nice reveal, and then the most fun comes when the guys help assess your treasure trove for gem quality rocks to select a few for cutting and polishing. Takes 4-6 weeks to receive the finished gems by mail. Give yourself 3 hours to fully enjoy the visit. Thanks Cody and Jacob. You guys rock.

A life-long interest that I've had in geology/minerology/ gemology, made this first visit to a gem mine very special. My husband and I had fun working together, picking out the rou... read more
Friendly staff and it was much better than I thought. Kids friendly. We got to take lots of crystals home. We had a little time to kill between activities and this was a perfect place to visit and easy to find.
Guaranteed gems in the raw which can be turned into jewelry.
