Gem Mining at the Elijah Mountain Mine in Hendersonville NCĀ 

1/8/2016

 
Experience gem prospecting at Elijah Mountain Gem Mine! Family fun panning for gems prominently found in the mountains of North Carolina….rubies, emeralds, sapphires, quartz crystals, citrine, amethyst, garnets and more!  It’s located only 5 minutes from downtown Hendersonville and 30 minutes from Asheville.  The flumes are covered to provide protection from the rain or hot sun.  Choose the size bucket and type of gems you wish to mine for….prices range from $10 for 1 gallon of dirt all the way up to $140 for a family size “whopper” size….not just ordinary dirt, but dirt that holds the promise of gems!  Their website claims that valuable gems are found every day.  Visit the 3000 SF antique and collectable shop.  Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy eating by the creek.
