Foggy Mountain Gem Mine Tours and Activities

They give you a big ol' bucket of rocks and let you sift through to find your own gems! Doesn't look like much at first, but once you sift it through water the striking colors stand out amongst the gravel
They give you a big ol' bucket of rocks and let you sift through to find your own gems! Doesn't look like much at first, but once you sift it through water the striking colors stand out amongst the gravel
Sifting through the gravel to find your own little treasures makes the gems worth more than if you buy them elsewhere
After you've found all the awesome gems in your bucket o' rocks they sort them out and tell you what you've found. We got all these from the mother load bucket. They'll cut and set them in jewelry for you as well

The pride of the Appalachian region is Appalachian State University, originally built as a teaching college for the members of this region. When I think of Appalachian I think of football and enjoying the games, with the chilly weather reminding you that you are in the mountains. The Rock is a well-known location for any Mountaineer football fan located at one of the highest points on campus. The football games bring in a variety of fans young and old. These games bring students, future students, and alumni all together to cheer on a classic American sport. #appalachianechoes
