Dear Rockhounds: Please note that due to ongoing construction activities at the
mine, gem buckets for screening
ARE ON A CALL AHEAD AND RESERVE BASIS
The Stewart Mine will always be one of the great classic locations for mineralogists. The Stewart produces the world's finest natural pink tourmaline, both for mineral specimens that spotlight the world's museums and. also, for gemstones that highlight the World jewelry industry, but especially for the fabulous blue-capped rubellite specimens that hallmark Pala as the very crest of the best in tourmaline over the whole planet. Today, at Gems of Pala, mineral specimens, gemstones, jewelry, carvings, and gifts are presented in a natural country store atmosphere. Buckets of underground mine gravels are brought to Gems of Pala from three different locations vithin the 2.5 mile maze of tunnels. These three locations determine the prices of the buckets of virgin material: $50 buckets from the "Bridal Chamber"; $25 buckets from the pocket zone and $10 buckets from general spillage. Screens, tables and an instructional 5-minute video get you started on your way to sharing that greatest of all treasures: your own shining moment of discovery as you mine your own gems and minerals from the buckets of fresh underground material. Our hours and days of business, along with a convenient map, are provided below this invitation to a gem of an outdoor adventure: Hunting the Pala Pink Tourmaline of the Stewart Mine at Gems of Pala!
