CRYSTAL FOREST MINE

ENJOY A SCENIC RIDE UP TO THE MINE IN OUR SAFARI STYLE TRUCKS

The Crystal Forest Mine is our most popular activity. This large 40 acre open pit surface mine is regarded highly for its abundance of clear crystals that are suitable for jewelry. Quartz crystal clusters, garden rocks, and larger points are also found here on a regular basis. Collecting at this mine is as easy as picking up the crystals exposed on the surface, especially after a good rain. Or, for those who want a little more challenge, they can try their luck at hard rock mining, as there are veins available to you throughout the mine site.

This trip is around 2.5-3 hours roundtrip, so please plan accordingly.

The trucks up to the mine leave daily at 9:30, 11:30, 1:30.

Please arrive 15-20 minutes early to sign up, load gear, and have a safety meeting.

Reservations are NOT needed for this trip.
