Gem Mining

Gift Certificate for Gem Mining

Give the gift of adventure!

Discover the excitement of striking it rich at The Rusty Stone! Our gem mining experience lets kids (and adults!) sift through mining rough to uncover real treasures. Choose from over 7 different mining kits filled with exciting finds like colorful gemstones, fossils, shark teeth, seashells, arrowheads, and more.

When you purchase a Gem Mining gift certificate, you're purchasing mining rough by weight—not a specific gem package. Simply choose the amount you'd like to purchase:

3 lbs
5 lbs
10 lbs

After your purchase, you'll receive a gift certificate that can be redeemed at The Rusty Stone. When the recipient visits, they can choose the gem mining package that best fits the weight purchased and enjoy the fun of discovering genuine gemstones at our indoor mining sluice.

Whether it's a birthday, holiday, reward, or just because, a Gem Mining gift certificate lets them choose their own treasure-filled adventure while creating lasting memories.

Please Note: Gift certificates are redeemed in-store only. Mining packages are selected at the time of redemption based on the weight purchased.

Every collection is designed differently. The listed weight includes both the mining sand and all of the treasures hidden inside. Since shells, fossils, gemstones, crystals, and rocks vary in size and density, the number and type of treasures will naturally differ from one adventure to another.

Our goal is for every mining bag to provide an exciting and rewarding discovery experience, regardless of which adventure you choose.

Whether you're stopping by for a quick adventure or celebrating a special occasion, gem mining is one of our most popular family experiences.

No reservation required—just stop in and start your adventure!
