We love this place! So much so, that we spent two of our six vacation days mining there, and it was an hour away from where we stayed, lol. Great place; great family running it. Thank you!

This was such a fun experience!!! The staff was so nice, the amount of gems the kids get is so impressive, and they were very accommodating when we weren’t able to come back and pick up the jewelry during our trip and mailed it to us. HIGHLY recommend.
