Sugar Creek Gem Mine in Sugar Mountain is a unique and exciting family-run business that allows visitors the opportunity to pan for gems, minerals, and fossils. It is the only commercial gem mine in North Carolina and one of the few remaining privately-owned mines in the United States. Visitors can pay a fee to mine through buckets of dirt from an authentic Emerald and Sapphire Mine. The buckets contain colorful gems such as topaz, amethyst, tourmaline, aquamarine, garnet, kyanite and more. With a little luck you may even find rare specimens like Rubies or Sapphires!
The experience of Suger Creek Gem Mine starts with a hands-on tour of an educational museum filled with glittering gemstones from around the world. After the tour, visitors are shown how to properly use their mining equipment before they head outside to start digging for treasure. Once they have washed away all the dirt and debris they can identify their finds in our rock shop while professional staff members help them identify more rare specimens. In addition to purchasing already mined gems, customers can also purchase rough uncut stones that they can cut themselves.
Children will especially enjoy their time here due to our mini-mining area where they can search through soil specifically prepared with gemstones like citrine and quartz that are easy to find! We also offer special birthday packages for families looking for a unique way to celebrate their special day!
When visiting Sugar Creek Gem Mine you don’t have to worry about getting too dirty as we provide complimentary rain boots for each person who visits our establishment so you don’t have leave with mud on your boots! After your mining experience is complete you can take home your finds or we offer custom jewelry services so you can create something beautiful out of your discoveries. Additionally we offer cutting services if you want professionally cut stones using advanced lapidary technology.
At Sugar Creek Gem Mine we strive to give people a truly memorable experience when it comes to finding precious treasures hidden deep beneath the ground – come join us for some outdoor fun in beautiful mountainous area of North Carolina!
