• 5Mining Fun for The Family

  Friendly Clerks. Huge Variety of unusual items. Great fun finding different stones while sifting the dirt buckets. Loved the chickens and goats.

• 5GREAT experience

  Elijah Mountain Gem Mine/Goat Farm was such a wonderful experience for my family. My 5 grandchildren LOVED the experience, from the gem mining, to the playground, to seeing a peacock (in a cage) and chickens running around then feeding the goats. They had the BEST time! They also loved watching there geode get cut by the machine. It was ALL such a wonderful experience. The employees were super nice too, even though they were very busy, they were still very helpful and polite.

• 5Great experience, fun for kids

  My 6yo granddaughter came to visit for a couple of weeks and absolutely loved looking for gems, seeing the goats and chickens and playing in the playground. The employees were very helpful and the gift shop was full of wonderful gems. We look forward to returning on her next visit.

• 5Had a great time sluicing for gemstones

  On a road trip in western NC when I stumbled on Elijah Mountain gem Mountain. Have always wanted to sluice for gemstones and this did not disappoint! Purchased a green giant, but after finishing it decided to buy the Big Honkin Tub and sluice some more. It was also fun watching the children and their families sluicing around me. It was fun to watch the excitement when they found a gemstone. :-) plan to be back in the fall and bring my husband with me. Thank you Joe for being patient with me as I was trying to decide what to buy.

• 5Excellent Gem Hunting Experience

  Excellent experience- highly recommend particularly for kiddos like my grandson who are rock hounds. Knowledgeable and friendly staff answered all the questions from our little guy and made suggestions helpful during our visit. The relaxed atmosphere added to the great experience. The animal walk through was fun; the goats had so much personality! Would visit again when in the area

• 4Fun for the whole family

  Mining was fun and 5 year old loved discovering each rock. Process is easy and the unveiling is fascinating and interesting look at colors, shades, and patterns. He and his Pappy are cleaning them all off this morning and renewing the discovery process. Goats and other animals were less of the attraction, but there is variety and love the picnic tables for easy and comfortable gathering.
