The site describes the only emerald mining area in the world open to the public, and you can experience three different mining methods for yourself: gold rushing by the stream, mining on the mountain and screening after digging. Among them, gold rushing by the stream is to use a sieve to find gems by the stream. We found many beautiful moonstones and smoke crystals. Excavation is a way to find gems by digging through earth, finding mica on the mountain, and digging with shovels. We found only some very small crystals. After excavation screening, let you find the gems from the soil you dig. Although the soil we dig ourselves is mainly small crystals and moonstones, you can buy the soil provided by the mine. The price ranges from fifteen to a few hundred knives. Even the cheapest options can find precious stones such as amethyst, elongated stone and lithium pyrite. And emerald lithium pyrite is a specialty here. The staff here are very knowledgeable about geology, you can always ask them what the stone is in your hand, and ask them to help identify whether there are rare varieties in the things you dug out. There is also a small shop where you can see the original stones of various gemstones, which helps you understand the true face of these beautiful stones. Although the place is called the emerald mine, no one found the real emerald the day we went. But the vast amount of crystal and moonstones in the area won't leave people empty-handed. Tip: If you plan to go, remember to wear a pair of shoes and dirty clothes that fit into the water. After the gold rush and excavation, we all become like big mud monkeys!

This place is not kid friendly and should be avoided. We recently took our grandkids and bought 2 70$ buckets and was told could buy more if needed. This was very high but we had drove 2 hours and the grandkids love doing this .We where close to finishing up the buckets we had and I ask one of the men assisting to bring another bucket. I was told we could not buy another bucket and we had to leave the site. We had done fine and causing no problems. But still we being thrown ( 2 senior citizens , 2 small kids 4 & 9. The issue was that a group came on and wanted the place to themselves so even though we were there first and this group did not have reservations we where being thrown out. I immediately ask how to contact the owner I was told to go inside while the rest where leaving the sifting area. When I left my wife was still there with the grandkids. After I went into the building one of them called me an SOB in front of all including a 4 and 9 year old. My wife did not share this until we where home. It took a few days to get in touch with the owner and shared the above. His response was his guys would not do that and one that called me the name was an assistant pastor at his church. Great example in front of anyone especially same kids. Although the owner was basically calling a liar but he would talk to them and get back to me. Of courseHe never did. Make your own choices but this is not a good place to go. As a side note the North Carolina gems are imported from Indonesia and Peru.
