Foggy Mountain Gem Mine

Gem mining played a vital role in shaping the history and development of the mountains of North Carolina. The Native Americans mined Mica and other minerals for decoration and trade. The Spanish explorers of yesterday mined this area for Silver and Gold. Upon the discovery of a 10lb gold nugget in Cabarrus County, North Carolina became the center of the first American gold rush, enticing many settlers to test their luck in this beautiful area of the USA. Today, you too can share in that experience in their clean, safe, family friendly environment. At Foggy Mountain Gem Mine they do all the hard work for you.
