Opened in 1970, this gemstone factory invites visitors to fill a bag (you pay according to the size of the bag) with semiprecious stones that you pick from a garden filled ankle-deep with tiger’s eye, rose quartz, amethyst, jasper, agates, crystals, and the like. There's also miniature golf, as well as Mineral World, where you can buy gemstone jewelry or observe the factory's operations from a metal boardwalk that overlooks the various machines.
