Yesterday me and my family went here and it was so much fun. We got the cheapest bucket and rose quartz and garnet. The place even has these cool little gems/​rocks for sale inside the building! I would really go to this place if you stop by in Spruce Pine.

i purchased one of their «Rio Doce» buckets which was around $ 150 I think. It’s not on the sign outside that’s included in the photos. The bucket was all facet grade rough. It’s not the highest quality but it’s a huge change from you get get out of similarly priced buckets from other rock shops with sluices.
They also offer classes in faceting. I’ll cover that in my next review. Gotta go!
