What is the Gem Dig -
An Easy And Fun Search For Natural Gemstones!
How does the Gem Dig work?
Water flows over an 8-foot water wheel into a wooden
trough. To find the raw gemstones, dump your bag/bucket
of dirt into a screen tray, lower it into the trough and sift it
in the rushing water with a gentle side to side motion.
The water will slowly wash away the sand, and you will
soon discover one raw gemstone, then another and
eventually, you may find quite a
few samples of Amethyst, Citrine,
Topaz, Ruby, Sapphire, Garnet,
Tourmaline and many more.
You are guaranteed to find
amazing raw stones in
every bag/bucket of mining ore!
What do we do with our stones?
Once you've uncovered your raw stones, our
knowledgeable and very friendly Mr. Jim Diggity
and Mr.Dusty Gem will help identify your gems.
Each customer will be given a take-home pouch
with a treasure chest identification card to help
you remember what stones you have.
Some of the stones you find can be cut or set in
silver or gold jewelry!
