The Finest In Colored Stones From Around The World
Gem
mining played a vital role in shaping the history and development of the
mountains of North Carolina. The Native Americans mined Mica and other minerals for decoration and trade. The Spanish explorers of yesterday mined this area for Silver and Gold. Upon the discovery of a 10lb gold nugget in Cabarrus County, North Carolina became the center of the first American gold rush, enticing many settlers to test their luck in this beautiful area of the USA. Today, you too can share in that
experience in our clean, safe, family friendly environment. At Foggy
Mountain Gem Mine we do all the hard work for you. Simply purchase a
bucket filled with gemstone ore from local and non-local mines and sift
