We get stones from 3 mines and do Not put any stones in the dirt from anywhere but our mountains. We have buckets for sale loaded with gem stones from our mountains. We have guided gem mining/gold panning trips go to a creek, that our guide knows, has gems and gold in it. We provide the equipment. We make jewelry, find a stone cut yourself or we will. We can teach you how to wire wrap it or we can
wire wrap for you. And you wear it home, what a stunning souvenir. We love kids and try to make gem mining lots of fun.
