After gem mining we shopped in the gift shop and I bought Hannah a geode... she always loves getting those and cracking them open with a hammer to see the gems inside (this one was beautiful inside). We then went across the street to the old mines and took the self guided tour of the mine. They used to mine felspar here and used it to make Bon Ami cleanser which was 90% crushed felspar and 10% soap. The mine we toured was intersting with lots of the old, rusted equipment used to mine the stone.
