It's a great experience. It's satisfying to dig your own raw crystal rock. They have some good fine crystal in store πΈπ€but you can also enjoy the process of digging rocks. (it's a unique way to destress as well. π·π»ββοΈβοΈππ»π)
PS. They only provide you a bucket, you need to bring your own hammer and safety goggles. The most important requirement is footwear. COMPLETELY ENCLOSED FOOTWEAR IS REQUIRED. No sandals, flip-flops, crocks or any footwear that is not completely enclosed will be allowed. NO EXCEPTIONS.
My husband and I enjoyed this unique experience. If you're looking to dabble a little bit into the gems, semi-precious stones and mineral world, this is a good place to visit. There's something for everyone here and the items in the shop are absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, it is very popular and very busy. I felt somewhat uncomfortable especially during covid. The gentleman who runs the place definitely needs some more help.
Really worth the drive, such a cool experience! The staff is lovely and friendly and we found some really cool pieces. Iβd recommend bringing along a rock hammer for breaking off chunks as you pay per pound.
We drove 6 hours one way to visit the mine. It was definitely worth it. We loved digging through the mine rocks and finding a variety of beautiful stones and crystals. The gift shop has a great variety of polished stones and hand crafted items. The staff were super friendly and helpful.
This is a cool place if you love rocks or if you want something different to do. We took our 2 year old daughter to hunt for cool rocks and walked out with a whole bunch of them. The prices are great and the staff are friendly. We will definitely be back again. Us rock hunters are hooked!
