Cherokee Ruby & Sapphire Mine

Hvorfor det er turen værd
The material is unsalted local ore, so what turns up in the screen is an honest sample of what a single Appalachian valley actually contains.
Inden du tager afsted
The mine states that its ore is 100 per cent unsalted and native to the Cowee Valley, and that it does not offer salted, enhanced or enriched gemstones. Children under 11 are not permitted into the dig-your-own mining area, shirts and enclosed footwear are required at the flume line, and a waiver must be signed; the mine describes the work as strenuous.
