My husband and I visited with our sons—ages 11 and 8. Our whole family loved this experience. We found several sapphires and other gems. We had a few cut for a very reasonable price. Montana gems...

We spent a couple of hours mining for sapphires and my sister came away with 7 lovely stones to get cut and placed in jewelry.

I had absolutely no intention of pawing around through mounds of wet rock. That lasted five minutes. What great fun. Even for someone who considers rocks and pebbles to be a nuisance found in your shoes. The staff are super. The owner is a gem, get it? Gem? ;-D This is a great experience and one you should not miss.

Late review but very humble staff and great selection. Definitely bound to find something gorgeous in here! Would definitely recommend!

Fun place for adults and kids alike to try and find some small gemstones. They've got a constantly running sluice with gravel available to purchase. Friendly staff will help you find some keepsakes from the memorable experience.

We had a wonderful time. We found several sapphires. Some were flawed but we found a few good ones. I would definitely recommend! Great fun for the whole family.
