We have enriched gem dirt buckets in many different kinds that you can purchase and sift through the dirt in our sleuce. We have a store that is packed with gemstones, crystals, specimens, jewelry, fossils, and much more! We offer gemstone cutting services. You can pick out a ring, pendant, or pair of ear rings and then choose from a wide variety of facetted and cabochon cut stones to have set in your ring, pendant, or ear rings. We sell rough gemstones and whole geodes too !

What a great little place. My family had a blast sleucing through our buckets. We walked about with about 20 lbs of rough gems. So many different types. The store was filled with collector pieces. The prices were reasonable. Tara was awesome. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely work a trip.

Although I have lived in Asheville for 30 years, I had never heard of the "Shadow of the Bear" until a few weeks ago. My daughter and I decided we needed to check it out so we drove out there last Thursday. It was a sunny & cloud-free day (perfect conditions). They were about 20 people there on that day. I agree with others that parking is difficult and it's dangerous to cross the street. The shadow started forming and took the shape of several different animals... turtle, mouse, beaver, floppy-eared dog, pig, and bear. It wasn't the most spectacular thing I've ever seen, but I have to admit, it really was kinda cool!

If you're looking for a quiet & beautiful setting off the beaten path, this is it. My wife & I took the time to drive the 4-5 miles off Highway 107 (a good portion of which is a gravel drive) and are so glad we did. The Chattagoo River flows beneath the bridge and there are smaller type falls on either side. We were able to take steps down to the water on one side of the bridge. We also saw what appeared to be a walking path but did not explore it due to mud from rains the previous night.
