Bob and Elaine are some of the most amazing people EVER! They were beyond hospitable to our group of 6. Friendly, educational, patient, are just a few of the words to describe them. The material in they buckets are, by far, the best in the area (I know this from many years of experience gem grubbing in the area). We left several stones to be cut that we know are all going to be amazing stones from good quality facet quality rough. THANK YOU for a fantastic experience that my friends will be talking about forever. We will be back at our earliest opportunity.

Mabel and her husband run a very interesting store full of a wide range of beautiful minerals at a price point for everyone. I found the store about three years ago and always enjoys stopping in to look around and talking to te very knowledgable owners. Their knowledge about the minerals is extensive and they don’t mind answering questions. I love the place and wish I could have some of their pieces shipped to my store in NY to sell. Their selection is amazing and the stores energy powerful and positive Dont miss the place if you’re nearby

This is one of the best galleries around, and if you are anywhere in the Spruce Pine area (or beyond) and like art, definitely take time out of your schedule to visit. Even if you buy nothing, you will have enjoyed your sojourn. Works of more than 100 excellent artists are exhibited (and are for sale). You can also purchase items such as lovely greeting cards and small gifts. The artists’ work is in just about every conceivable medium—from painting to woodcuts, ceramics, blown and cast glass, weaving, metalwork, wood, and more. There is also a lovely selection of jewelry. Some artists of note who are new to this gallery are Kurt Anderson, Lynne Hobaica, and Rickie Barnett; interestingly, there three talented artists share studio space. There is no pressure whatsoever to buy, but you will be very tempted. Price points range from under $10 to five figures.
