 Gem
Mines in NC
"There’s
hidden treasures in those hills!" This is the
line many vacationers use after visiting the Gem
Mines of the NC Blue Ridge Parkway. The ancient
mountains and secret caverns surrounding the
mountains of Boone North Carolina
are filled with NC Gem Mines.
Vacationers staying in our Hotels in Boone NC
love visiting the NC Public Gem Mines and searching for
rubies, emeralds, sapphires, aquamarine, garnet, topaz,
amethyst, and even rare peridot.
 Stop
by one of the Gem Mines in NC; there are a few
located in and around Boone North Carolina. Most
offer buckets in a variety of different
sizes. Of course, the larger your bucket, the
more chances you have of finding that rare
treasure, but larger buckets take more
time to sift through. Once you have mined
through your bucket(s) you can take all of the
stones you find to the gem shop to be cut.
Almost all of the Boone NC Gem Mines have a
professional gemologist or stone cutter on
staff. Have your stones
cut and made into beautiful jewelry on site!
