A rustic fourteen foot water tower delivers a stream of water through a flume system which cascades down into the mining area. Visitors can sit along the twenty-four foot sluice and get their hands wet while scooping dirt into the screen pans. The running water then washes away the dirt to reveal the sparkling gems. When your bucket is empty and you have gathered all the gems you wish to keep, we will gladly review and identify your stones as a complimentary service. The Metamora Gem Mine offers a learning experience for children and adults of all ages to learn about various gems and their properties. |
