Gem Mining

Gem mining is an exciting activity that involves searching for hidden treasures through the use of the mining sluice. This offers miners a hands-on experience that connects them with nature and geology using our Educational ID Postcards you'll be able to identify where findings are found around the world!

Pan and sift through your mining rough and uncover gemstones, emeralds and fossils based on your selection. It’s not only a fun and educational activity for families and groups but also a rewarding one, as lucky miners get to keep what they find!

Our prospectors get a small glimpse of gemstones. This option is perfect for beginning miners.
