Hogg Mine
The Rose Quartz from the Hogg Mine can be stunning. American Gemstones mined the rough for all of the rose quartz gemstones on a trip to meet Chris Painter, the operator of the Hogg Mine. Chris is very welcoming and offers the public an opportunity to dig at the mine for a reasonable fee. Periodically he brings in an excavator to uncover a whole new layer of material for enthusiastic “treasure seekers”. In addition to asteriated (producing a star pattern when cut in a particular way) Rose Quartz, there are also Beryl, Aquamarine, Schorl (Black Tourmaline) and other crystals found. The setting is relaxing and Chris is a great host.
Hogg Mine has an interesting history and geology. We asked Chris for a brief description of both:

We love the gemstones, atmosphere and adventure that awaits at Hogg Mine.
