Wow so glad you liked out shop! We have been around for 4 generations and 60 years! That's how we have so much to see! Thanks for your review, please tell your friends!
Ruby City is a true "gem." Their museum is a must-see for visitors to the Smoky Mountains. The Blacklight Room is particularly interesting to adults and breathtaking to children.

The staff's knowledge of rocks and gems is very impressive and they're always more than willing to answer my questions about precious stones and about the area.
