    Breaking open a geode
    TravelRats T.

    Four Peaks Mining - A Hidden Gem at the AZ Boardwalk! We originally came to the AZ Boardwalk for the UFO Experience, but stumbled upon Four Peaks Mining--and we're so glad we did! This place is truly a *hidden gem* (yes, pun fully intended). The sign advertising a free mine experience caught our eye, so we wandered in... and wow, were we impressed! The mine walkthrough was fascinating--real gemstone and mineral samples with info tags showing what they are and where they came from. It was both educational and visually beautiful. My 9-year-old nephew was completely captivated, and honestly, so were the adults! The shop itself is a treasure trove (literally). They have a huge selection of gorgeous, reasonably priced jewelry, polished stones, raw minerals, fossils, t-shirts, mining-themed gifts, and even whole geodes you can buy and crack open. That part was a huge hit with our whole group! We ended up making several purchases, including a beautiful selenite necklace for my mother-in-law and a handful of carefully selected rocks for my nephew's growing collection. He had the best time picking through the polished stones, and the two ladies working there were absolute gems themselves--friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. They even took the time to show him how to find the perfect rocks and gave us great tips for selecting geodes. If we'd had more time, I definitely would've browsed longer, but no worries--I'll absolutely be back, especially for holiday gift shopping. Whether you're into geology or just want to find something sparkly and unique, this place is a must-visit!

    We visited the store and found out they do mining tours on the 4 peaks mountain where they have the amethyst mine. You take off from a helicopter and go up the mountain. At base camp they have a cabin set up. You walk up the side to the mine and you get to take anything you are able to get. We came home with a few lbs a piece of amethyst. It's really beautiful. Very good experience. The tour folks were so friendly. 10/10 experience

    Amethyst in the mine

    This is the BEST helicopter mining tour ever!! John our guide was awesome, very knowledgeable, knows so much about the area and the mine we went to. He explained everything about the mine and how to mine for amethyst. He actually helped us mine for the gems. Anything we find we can keep. John (another John) the helicopter pilot was exceptional. Very accommodating, he even helped us in and out of the helicopter, and up and down the trail to the mine. He also helped us in the mine. On our way back he flew over the mountains and the dams. Told us some history about the dams and the river. He also told us about the wild horses we were looking for. This not only exceeded our expectations but was well worth the money. Over all, an experience of a lifetime. Thanks John and John Best regards, Vera, Debbie, and rose

    I stumbled upon Four Peaks' shop while visiting the Arizona Boardwalk. Having time, we decided to stop in and check it out. The shop is a rockhound's delight. Four Peaks Mining is all things gems, fossils and minerals. Not a rockhound? There is something for everyone at this store. Polished and unpolished gems, jewlery, decor, toys, and educational materials are sold here. While the majority of merchandise comes from outside sources, there is a strong selection of items made with amethyst from their own mine. Four Peaks amethyst are a deeper shade of purple than many others. The woman working there was so incredibly welcoming. She was engaging with my son. She made sure to tell us about their mine, the store, and their scavenger hunt. Mini mine tour. Recreation of the inside of one of their mines shafts may be found inside the store. It is a quick walk through. There is a short geological scavenger hunt for the kids. Scavenger hunt is perfect for elementary school-aged children. Not only did my son find it interesting, but he was glad he got to take home the sheet with information about the gems. While this is their retail store, Four Peaks Mining Co. does conduct public tours of their actual mine. The tour does include a helicopter ride, so it is on the pricey side. Check out their website for additional information.

    as soon as i walked in i was followed through the store i don't know if she is the management or what but she kept telling me i hope you have money to pay for that and she kept pretending she was doing something and continued to make rude remarks along with the coworker i advise if you are hispanic or not of white race avoid this store not worth being hrassed and discrimination

    So ch beautiful jewelry. My daughter just fell in love with a butterfly necklace today. My boys really enjoyed the little mock mine where we all got to wear mining helmets with lights while going through trying to find all the different minerals. Very short, but great way to t agh them about things that are part of Arizona living.

    Take a mock mine tour and discover what beautiful gems are mined here in Az and elsewhere. My kiddo loved putting on the miners hat with dome light and exploring the dark corners of the cave to discover beautiful pyrite and quartz and so many more gems. Four peaks mines amethysts here in AZ and the owner of the mine designs and displays theie pieces here, which are stunning. There is incredibly beautiful jewelry here, very reasonably priced pieces as well, and kids can get geodes and amethysts or select a bag of their own gems for under $10. My kiddo picked out a geode and smashed it outside. You will also find fossils from various periods and even rare and beautiful chrysanthemum stones. I got myself a pair of beautifully delicate and sparkling peridot earrings , mined here in Az as well.

    Bought these rings and two bracelets.
