Est. 1989

Foggy Mountain Gem Mine was founded by Dana Morace, a classically trained pianist and RN(Registered Nurse), originally from High Point, NC. After retiring as a nurse, Dana discovered the art of lapidary, cutting rough stones into gems, and thus found her second calling. Dana shared her art with her son, Nik, who continues to provide the finest in natural gemstones from around the world,

in a fun, family atmosphere. Emeralds, Rubies, Sapphires, Amethyst, Citrine, and many more are guaranteed in each bucket sold. Once you find your rough stones , a staff member will identify them for you, and show you how to turn them into unique family heirlooms. Our jewelry settings are offered in 14k Gold and Sterling Silver at the most reasonable prices. Stop by Foggy Mountain Gem Mine for a uniquely rewarding, educational and Eco-friendly experience you won't get anywhere else. Buckets Range from $30-$325

Spring is in the air and we are preparing for a busy season and we wanted to update everyone on some updates and changes. Unfortunately, due to damage sustained during Hurricane Helene we are sad to say our HWY 105 location suffered extensive damage and is now closed permanently; however we are now operating daily out of our HWY 321 location with indoor gem mining (Last bucket sales are 30 mins. before closing). We are still offering Lapidary services (cutting and polishing) of your stones but due to the cost of living, cutting prices will be increased and we have attached a new price sheet to reflect the changes effective April 1, 2026. Shipping and Handling rates will also be increased from $8 to $10. In the past we were able to offer jewelry options, as of October 2025 our Jewelry Caster retired after 40 years, and we are not offering jewelry settings at this time. Thank you for your continued business and support.
