Mineração de pedras preciosas e excursão a pé pela fazenda de cabras em Hendersonville

On a road trip in western NC when I stumbled on Elijah Mountain gem Mountain. Have always wanted to sluice for gemstones and this did not disappoint! Purchased a green giant, but after finishing it decided to buy the Big Honkin Tub and sluice some more. It was also fun watching the children and their families sluicing around me. It was fun to watch the excitement when they found a gemstone. :-) plan to be back in the fall and bring my husband with me. Thank you Joe for being patient with me as I was trying to decide what to buy.

Special... without hurry, without stress

Excellent experience- highly recommend particularly for kiddos like my grandson who are rock hounds. Knowledgeable and friendly staff answered all the questions from our little guy and made suggestions helpful during our visit. The relaxed atmosphere added to the great experience. The animal walk through was fun; the goats had so much personality! Would visit again when in the area

Mining was fun and 5 year old loved discovering each rock. Process is easy and the unveiling is fascinating and interesting look at colors, shades, and patterns. He and his Pappy are cleaning them all off this morning and renewing the discovery process. Goats and other animals were less of the attraction, but there is variety and love the picnic tables for easy and comfortable gathering.

Gem mining was so much fun. Several gemstones found.. gift shop has many beautiful pieces to choose from. Enjoyed the goats. Good place for one person or your whole family to enjoy the day. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. Give it a try. You will be glad you did.

Great experience, especially with young kids who really enjoy discovering things. Wonderful gift shop and outdoor area.

We went as a family to celebrate my daughter’s 6th birthday and she had an amazing time! Heather was so helpful answering my questions in advance to make sure she had a nice experience; she had everything already set up for us when we arrived. The girls got tons of gems, many of a substantial size. it was well worth the cost.

Absolutely the best thing we have done in years!!! Would have loved to do this for days but we had to stick to an itinerary. Would have scrapped everything after if we would have known how much fun this would be.

My experience at the Elijah gem mine was the best. Especially my experience dealing with Reece. He even sang Happy Birthday 🎁 to me because it was birthday. Kayne was hilarious and Joe was very helpful and knowledgeable about the gems. But my fav was Reece❤️

Reese was so helpful with our 1st time experience. Highly recommend if in Hendersonville. He also suggested a great winery, lunch place and Falks to visit that were all nearby and made our day trip memorable. Feeding the goats was so fun. Definitely worth a trip back !!!
