As soon as the weather starts to get warmer, Georgians will begin to step out of their wintertime cocoons and start planning some fun spring activities. We have a weekend lined up that will likely be outside of your usual wheelhouse, but we guarantee the kids will love it, as will the nature enthusiast in us all. Check out this weekend of gem mining in Georgia this April.
Taking place April 24th through 26th, 2020, get ready for the ultimate gem mining experience in Georgia at Graves Mountain—the same place Tiffany’s mined for rutile, a substance used for polishing diamonds in the 1920s!
While you can make a reservation with the company privately for a dig at any time during the year, these weekends only happen twice a year, so it’s important not to miss out.
It is recommend though, that you give a donation, as the maintenance of the property isn’t cheap and uses funds in order to keep things running smoothly.
