ZOZO
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!
