#CHEROKEE RUBY MINE REVIEWS UPDATE#
After, we walked inside to speak with.IMPORTANT UPDATE - PLEASE NOTE: Due to increasing government restriction due to SARS-Cov2 and variant concerns, we have decided that Cherokee Mine is CLOSED FOR THE SEASON. We had a good time sifting through our bucket and found a lot of cool gems.
We did a mining in another area that the gems/rocks were in the original dirt it was nice they took awhile to break apart and sift, here it just crumbled and didn’t last long. The bathroom are clean and I felt comfortable I was going to be Sea Bass. This is a great little gem stone store and panning joint. I usually go for the Emeralds buckets and the rubies and sapphire buckets- seem to get larger. moreĪlways a must when on a trip to Cherokee! Been with family, been with friends, such a great experience. The employees are rude we got there 45 minutes before they were supposed to close and were ran out! Never leave your doors open just to send people out smh.
