I called to know how they operate with a small number of guests for my party and they were so pleasant and very informative. They do not host their elaborate birthday parties yet due to Covid but you can book a time slot to mine. When I was ready to book a date and time, I called but missed them. They called me promptly the next day. Since we are still in the Covid season, they were very open to their protocols so we were not put out by it when we got there, hand sanitizer when coming in and mask. No problem! Better be safe! They have a huge display of gems, stones, shells and shark teeth. Their "mining" station is located on the side of the store. We browsed around before our time was called and my party of four was so eager to start finding treasures. I got to join in too. It was fun finding gems and shells and it's not like going to the beach and just finding oyster, clam, or mussel shells, we found some cool looking ones. The best finds were a megalodon tooth and a big quarts. So many treasures! If you have children or you are an avid collector/miner, visit this store. You will have fun. Just take your time when sifting because there's a lot of small rocks like a star ones that you might miss if you sift too fast. What will you find in your bucket of treasure?

We had such an amazing experience. Huge shout out to Lexi who helped us out today! My child and I…read morehad such a fun and exciting experience hunting for shark teeth and other marine fossils!

Who knew about this little hidden gem (pun intended) in Cary! Because I certainly didn't!…read more What a wonderful place to go with your children for a family experience. Or go with some friends to pan for gems. Or just go by yourself and relax while you sort through crystals? I went with my sister and we got the collectors bucket, the mega load bucket, and a jackpot bucket. I loved the collectors bucket. Mostly tumbled gems, some nice carved stones, great bucket if you're not into raw stones. The mega bucket had so many gems to sort through! If you're not the best as determining raw crystals (such as sapphire or ruby) from plain rocks, this bucket can be a little frustrating as it's made with gravel rather than sand. The jackpot bucket was great too! My sisters excitement when she found the megalodon tooth was well worth it! The staff were wonderful! So friendly and would walk by and tell us about the different stones we had found so far. This is definitely a beautiful, relaxing, family friendly place that is worth a visit!

We checked this out on a chilly December day, and we were pleased by the customer service (very friendly staff) and the full and operational heaters to keep us warm while in the sluice. My kids both loved this, but it was genuinely fun for all of us. We bought two of the $18 bags, and the kids spent about an hour emptying them in search of gems. We found lots of beautiful stones that now get sorted and played with a lot at home. Coming back this month for an outdoor birthday party - what a great option to keep kids entertained during this endless pandemic!

As an avid raw gems, minerals, and fossil collector, the Minerology chain has sure become an…read moreexpensive obsession. I used to live in CT and would drive hours to get to my favorite gems and mineral shop. Since living in NC, it's quite dangerous that there are 3 of these shops all within a 40 minute drive. I love Minerology because there are quite a few pieces that are reasonably priced. I highly recommend visiting Minerology if you're into metaphysical stuff (crystals, necklaces, selenite plates) because they're much cheaper than going to an actual spiritual shop. The other amazing thing about Minerology is that they have a rewards program that quickly adds up in points. I want to say that it's a 10% rewards program, so for every $100 you spend, you earn $10 in rewards which is great. The staff at every location are very friendly and helpful. I've not had a single issue at any of the stores and truly love looking at all of the beautiful pieces. This location in particular is smaller than the other location I've been to (still have the third to visit). However, it's beautifully decorated inside and I love that there is a sliding ladder for employees to climb to get items that are high up. This store has a great collection of fossils, too.
