Greater Foscoe Mining Company

Here at the Greater Foscoe Mining Company, your experience is not only loads of fun, but educational as well. With indoor and outdoor flumes, your visit will be enjoyable rain or shine. When you've finished mining, our friendly staff will identify your gemstones and place them on a keepsake gemstone calendar to take with you. If you're interested in having any of your stones cut, you can visit the jewelry store and gallery, Facets, where our experienced gem cutters can cut and polish your stones. Here, we can set your stones in gold or silver or create one of a kind jewelry to your liking. If you can imagine it, we can create it!

We guarantee that you'll find precious and semi-precious, colored gemstones in every bucket that we sell. There is no fee per person, only the cost of the bucket you choose. Prices range from the smallest at $16.00, mid sizes are $26.50 and $53.00, to the largest five star buckets at $106.00 and $212.00. Groups are able and are encouraged to share the larger buckets in which all of the 24 gemstones we feature are possible to find, at sizes which generally yield relatively larger faceted gemstones.
