Emerald Hollow Mine offers an Earth Science Tour/Educational Program which will bring your classroom lessons to life. The students will see the reality of past earth movements, such as plate tectonics which caused gemstones to be formed in hydrothermal veins in the earth. They will learn about soil and erosion while surface mining an active surface mine. Everyone will go Creekin’ (panning the creek bed for gems and gold). We will learn to wash “gem-bearing ore” at the sluiceway to find gemstone treasures. This program is tailored to meet the educational level of all students. It is approximately 1hr 45 min long. 

Parents and students are $20 each; 3 and under are free.
