The site states that all equipment is provided at no additional charge and that rough sapphires are weighed and bagged free of charge, with a separate fee for gem-quality evaluation. Mine visits are first come, first served with a VIP section available for groups; there is no mobile signal at the mine, the wash trough is outdoors with little cover, and visitors are advised to bring a chair and shade if they need them.
