“Hands down the best shop on Main Street in Franklin. You will find something for everyone and the shop/shop owner is very inviting. Can’t wait to return and to shop online.”

“It is such a beautiful little shop filled with handmade items! I enjoyed it so much, I stopped in again before heading back home to Florida... Will definitely be in again when I come back to visit”

“We went to Mason Mountain gem mine in franklin/cower NC. First off... the inside is amazing and all the gifts are stunning. The customer service was very friendly and welcoming. 40 per person... you get a 5 gallon bucket, screens, baggies and a shovel and handtrucks...
Now, you don't get a filled bucket of salted material. You get a empty bucket and you get to fill it will native dirt from the mine at the top of the mountain. You get to fill it AS MANY TIMES AS YOUR HEART DESIRES... well between 9am and 445pm. They have a water flume to wash and screen. The flume is covered too.
John was the host at the mine. He is half the experience. Before you begin he will show you what the mine has to offer and what to look for. Walks you through the entire process. This guy is super friendly and knowledgeable... not only that, periodically he past by and checks out what you've found and will identify and answer any questions you have.
When you are finished, you take your finds inside and have them appraised and weighed. They show off your finds under a UV light and can see your beautiful gems glow.
We will definitely be going back and I'd recommend this place if you are traveling through or even want to make a day trip.

Still not sure what the white rice grain looking thing is. It glowed orange under UV.”
