Mine for Gem Stones
The whole family can join in the fun and excitement--panning for gem stones and fools gold. Just imagine the ultimate find--amethyst, citrine, topaz...a chunk of pyrite...glistening in the sun--and it's all yours!
Our mining operation starts with the release of water from high overhead in a 16 ft. Water Tower. The water pours down 180 feet of wooden sluiceways and 14 waterfalls, bringing a torrent of water to the sluice area where you'll try your hand at panning for gems.
Customers purchase a bag of "mining rough" mixed with 22 varieties of semi-precious stones including flourite, amethyst, garnet and more. We provide a sluice box and instructions on how 
to pan properly, just like the miners of yesteryear. Fill up your bag and take home your semi-precious souvenirs. Discovered treasure is guaranteed.
Mining rough, mixed with semi-precious stones are available in small bags for $7 or large bags for $9.
You can also save big with our Combo Packs.
