Owner was super sweet, nice, funny and helpful. She let us choose our bucket for mining, let us hold fossils, helped us find gemstones in the sifter we couldn’t find, great selection, fair prices, told us about each gemstone, and if we didn’t like our gemstones in the bucket we could return them to her and not pay. And we got to hold a dinosaur egg!! We will definitely be going back.

Karis was extremely knowledgeable and super fun. We went for a girls trip and had a great time! Would highly recommend, especially in the winter since it's inside.

Highly recommend! We spent 3 hours mining and learning about our fossils and stones we found. Karis took amazing care of us. Even with us asking a thousand questions she made sure all our questions were answered. She was extremely patient with us. We came home with beautiful rocks and fossils. We will definitely be back. We got beautiful emeralds, amethyst, rubys and tons of fossils. We also chose 2 beautiful stones to get wire wrapped into necklaces. Karis was extremely Friendly and caring. She definitely made our experience over the top positive!

Love to go Gem mining here!! I have 3 kids that love to go in and get buckets to find gems. My oldest 2 are really excited to find different kinds of rocks and ask what they are and our last visit was really special.. the girl at the counter Karis helped answer all their questions and took the time to go over what the types of rocks were and my girls are now polishing their gems to make keepsakes. Thank you for making their day special and taking interest in them and your patience. My son also loves the train set and playing after he finishes mining. Great place to play

Attended inside gem mining for a fun family reunion, was horrified to learn one of the children was accused of stealing a small teddy bear, that they simply moved from one place to another. Owner never apologized to the child. It was a good teaching opportunity for the family, but we will patronize elsewhere in the future. Keenan and Nancy were both kind and helpful in setting up the area for 11 children to participate in gem mining activities.

I promised my son a trip to the gem mine so we drove down to Hendersonville so we could it at Pisgah Forest because their mine is entirely indoors. We ended up having a great time! The young lady who helped us, Karis, turned a pleasant afternoon into a delightful one with her Ramona Flowers hair and kind and helpful attitude. She used her time between helping other customers to come over and help Finn identify different stones. She was thoughtful and knowledgeable and really made the difference in our experience!

Not only is this a great place to have fun mining for gem stones they have a lot of cool items in the store as well. Many t-shirts, funny socks, Hendersonville branded merchandise and lots of signs and other items. Whether you are local or visiting they have something great for everyone. Also, very knowledgeable about the different stones and gems!

My wife and I had a great experience last month at the Pisgah Forest Gem Mine and Gifts. We did the Super bucket and Ezra was the employee that helped us. He did an excellent job.

We visited today and got the super bucket. Karis was the BEST. She was so knowledgeable and attentive. She answered a million questions for us on the different gems we found. My son loves doing the mining activities and this was by far our best time. She even helped us organize our gems for better keeping. I just really wanted everyone to know how amazing she is and highly recommend everyone stopping in to see her! We will be back for sure.

Called to see if the location was open and Darrell said their Henderson location is open all day! Reagan was the sweetest gem mining guide. She had tons of experience in both the gems we found & amazing customer service. They have many bucket options to choose from! This is perfect for those summer months when you want to stay out of the heat! The shop is downtown so make sure to look up the closest parking garage (it’s around the corner and cost by the hour).

Exciting and fun adventure for our 9- year-old ADHD very active kiddo. Kept his attention the whole time. He insisted we come back a second day. Jamie was the best, showing us the gem chart and helping us identify our treasures. The souvenir necklace of our favorite find for an extra $5 was a well-worth it souvenir! We will remember this for a long time! Thank you

Reagan was knowledgeable about the rocks my grandson found in his pail of dirt. She was extremely patient with him coming over several times to check on him and answer questions. It was delightfully entertaining for my grandson and I. I stated it was free because you can come in the store for free but then then you buy a bucket of dirt if you want to “mine” for gems. A great educational experience as well and we will continue to return.
