Today there are a few flurries of snow in the air on the higher elevations, so it is not likely you will want to be out in the gem mines, but most days, the gem mines in and around Rivendell in the Smoky Mountains, are rich and full and ready for you to come dig in the natural dirt or in the buckets of mine dirt for the special treasure for your jewelry.
I love mining and sharing the events and findings with my family when they come and visit.  The little ones keep their stones in a small jar with water, but Granny loves jewelry, and hers are all made into something special to wear.
Even on cloudy days, gem mining is a fun thing to do here in Franklin, and especially when you are staying with us at Rivendell Cabins.
