One unusual feature attraction of the shop is the "GEMSTONE MINE" a heavily salted gemstone gravel mine. For $2.00, miners sort through tailings from mines all over the world. Amethyst, sapphire, beryl, aquamarine, tourmaline, peridot, garnet, Ohio flint, and many others may be found. It is possible to find at least the equal to what the average rock hound might find at most mine sights around the United States. Furthermore the whole family can mine without climbing a mountain, getting lost , or being eaten alive by mosquitoes.
The out door rock yard features large decorator materials for indoor or rock garden display. A day could be spent just investigating this feature alone - thousands of pounds of lapidary material at a per pound basis - weigh it out yourself!
