Rain or shine, our indoor mining sluice is always open. Sit down and relax... Or stand on your feet and get rushed through at the other mines.
"Asheville's Best" is the only mine in the area with a sit down, climate-controlled Sluice mine.
Find Emeralds, Aquamarine, Sapphires and Rubies, Amethyst, Agates, and more. Or find that "one-of-a-kind" gift in our massive store.
Our buckets are guaranteed to contain Corundum and Beryl... Other mines charge extra and call it a "Specialty Bucket". We felt they belonged in every bucket.
It is a guarantee on the Corundum (Rubies & Sapphire) & Beryl (Emerald & Aquamarine), as well as Agates, and Jaspers, and Crystals (Oh My!).
But it is a guarantee on the bucket itself! If you mine a bucket here and you are not happy, leave the rocks and pay nothing!
We don't want anyone mad at us. "Over A Rock?"
We are the only mine that makes that guarantee and it keeps us "High! Star Rated"!
Our Rockin' Rock Shop features raw minerals, polished gemstones, Jewelry, Fossils, and One-Of-A-Kind finds NOT found anywhere else.
Sure, "Other Rockshops" have highly polished gemstones. At "Rockin' Rock Shop", we carry raw gemstones from all over the world and Local rocks, too. Ask the other mines if the rocks are local... Most have to say "No". We are truly different.
We celebrate the local rocks; Isn't that what you came for?
We don't just find 'em—we help you keep 'em. Ask our experts about turning your "Mine Finds" into custom jewelry.
Whether you found it in our mine, their mine, or in your driveway... Let us turn it into a treasure you will be proud to hand down for generations to come.
