Imagine taking your love for the outdoors and adding the thrill of discovery. That's what Gem Mining at Silver Lake Resort is all about! It’s the perfect way to bring an element of adventure, hands-on fun, and unique souvenirs to your camping trip. Campers of all ages are invited to get their hands dirty and uncover beautiful stones, minerals, and even fossils right here on site.

We use a gem mining sluice: a long, flowing water trough where you'll wash away dirt to reveal hidden treasures. Here's how it works:
As the dirt disappears, colorful gems, crystals, and minerals are exposed!
Depending on the bag you choose, you might discover dazzling finds like quartz crystals, amethyst, sapphires, rubies, or even fossils. It's a genuine thrill to see what you've uncovered!
Gem mining isn't just about finding stones—it's about making memories and adding something special to your vacation.
You never know what you might find next! Our mining rough is loaded with a variety of beautiful specimens, often including:
It's easy to get started and uncover your own piece of Silver Lake treasure!
Make the most of your adventure: Bring a magnifying glass to see the fine details of your gems, and don't be afraid to turn it into a friendly competition to see who can find the most unique stone!
