Description
"You Find Em, We Shine Them!" Doc's Rocks Gem Mine is a Western North Carolina based gemstone mining operation in Blowing Rock Next To Mystery Hill. We purchase our mine ore from local North Carolina gem mines by the ton and resell it to the general public by the shovel full. Because of this, we can't guarantee what you'll find in the ore. However, if you don't find anything of value, we'll provide an equal amount of the ore you purchased for free so you'll have another chance to find something good. Once you find your treasure, Doc can personally facet your stone and set it into the jewelry of your choice.
December- March we are doing free Wine and Cheese every Sunday from 12-5. We will have different types of wine for our customers to try and for the kids we will have sparkling grape juice. Come out and try some with us.
We are located at Mystery Hill, beside of Tweetsie Rail Road on Highway 321. We also have plenty of flume space including a heated indoor flume and a wheelchair access point. .
We are constantly changing our inventory which allows us to provide a lot of new merchandise including; Rock Tumblers, Tumbler Refill Kits, Rock Boxes, Toys, books (lots and lots of books), candle holders, rock lamps and collectors items.

I'm a local mom and my children love going to Doc's. Doc and his staff are extremely friendly and love to teach geology to all ages of clientele. I promise you'll love it!
