We were visiting Anaconda and made a quick run to Philipsburg. Absolutely loved it and highly recommend. The drive there, the candy shop, and mining experiences were so fun especially for kids of any age. A must!

This is the ONLY place that you can get the crazy gems pack (kids pack) and boy oh boy it kept my 10 and 6!year old busy for 5 hours. We bought them each a bag and they sluiced right along with us. The kids pack is filled with a variety of EASY TO SPOT large stones and fossils. Our kids were so excited with all of their finds. My 10 year old even found a 2 carat sapphire in his mix! We soon found out that NO OTHER PLACE HAS this (it’s trademarked)!!So if you go to other mines grab a bag here for the kids to take with you! It will make every mine more enjoyable! On our way back home we stopped back by to grab a few bags for the road. Anna was kind enough to print me out some rock bingo cards to take home. We are even having them cut a few stones for us ($20 + $10 shipping) which was the best price we found so far! Great first and last stop! My husband found a 3.5 carat sapphire and over 17 carats of cuttable sapphires (in one bag) we have already cracked open a kid bag with the cousins!

What a delightful experience! We went through a couple of bags of dirt looking for sapphires, which were then appraised.....but then Ashley and Holly took the sapphires that we had found at a different location and also appraised them, giving us great advice regarding heat treating, leaving natural, and cutting. They do both the heat treatment and the cutting in the local area rather than sending the stones overseas.....so the process is much faster. We left 101 stones with them for heat treatment, and were so very impressed with their fabulous customer service, interest in our stories, and professionalism. This was a lovely “high class” operation that we will definitely revisit and recommend to others!
