5 out of 5 starsI really loved these, and might end up having to get more! (While sharing my purchase, I felt moved to give 2 of them away to my partner, haha).
Great bubble wrapping, but I had to quickly move my crystals because they are so amazing my cat tried to eat them (so she can carry it with her everywhere). Really appreciate the great service. -

4 out of 5 starsIt was perfect for her and iwas satisfied with it, but we could both tell from the moment we saw it that it wasn't the real deal and when I first took it out, within a minute the hook came out of the gem. would recommend to those who want a gift with minimal expectations and a low budget. get what you pay for I guess.

4 out of 5 starsI thought the bottle and crystals were going to be a bit bigger but that's my fault for not paying closer attention, they're still totally cute! I've already got several ideas for ways to use them! The crystals have great color!

Our Treasure Quest
Treasure Quest Mining springs out of our passion for spending time with our son and embarking on a true treasure hunt together. When we're not working, you'll often find us metal detecting, searching for fossils along the coast, or digging for gems in the mountains. We cherish those times spent on family vacations gem-hunting in the North Carolina mountains or searching for shells and sharks teeth at the beach. So much so, that we decided to bring that experience closer to home for kids and their families to enjoy. And so, we opened Treasure Quest Mining, an indoor gem mine and prehistoric gift shop in Apex, North Carolina. We invite Treasure Hunters young and old to mine for gems and minerals, dig for shells and fossils, and crack open geodes to reveal the beautiful crystals within.
We are a family-run, mom-pop-and-son, business in the truest sense. Our son enjoys helping our guests during their Treasure Quest, particularly when it comes to identifying their treasures. But then again, he has always loved playing with rocks and getting his hands dirty! We’ve definitely made this a family-affair and even our two dogs, Brooke and Ruby (yep, you guessed it – she was named after the precious gemstone), join in on the adventure.
We are continuously amazed and find ourselves in awe of the beautiful gems and minerals, seashells, and fossils we discover. It is important to us to honor and celebrate the natural beauty of these creations - they are truly earth's treasures. As such, we do not shape, color or alter in any way the natural stones, shells or fossils. Each piece carries with it the marks of time - both perfections and imperfections. And it is these markings that make the piece beautiful and one of a kind.
In our shop you will find, bulk items for sale for the craft, rare earth treasures and jewelry items. In addition to exploring our Easy shop, we invite you to visit our website to learn more about the gems, minerals, shells, and fossils in our collection. You can learn more about these treasures by visiting our identification pages: http://treasurequestmining.com/treasure-identification/
We thank you for spending time exploring our treasures! We appreciate your business and support of our family-run adventure.

We ship quickly, processing orders within 1-2 business days. Your treasures will be packaged appropriately to ensure a safe journey. You will receive tracking information with your order, we encourage you to monitor the status of the package.

Do you provide a packing slip or offer gift wrapping?
No and No. Save your digital receipt from Etsy as we do not provide you with a printed invoice or packing slip, we try to do our part to save resources.

In many cases, you may! Simply reach out to us BEFORE placing your order to allow us an opportunity to coordinate sending along some photographs of available pieces for you to choose from.
