Cold River Mining
We have tried hard and came up with an inexpensive way for you to offer gem stone mining for kids groups at a reduced, very reasonable price !
Option Number 1 - You purchase fancy rocks by the pund in bulk, ( our bulk rock mix has approximately 45 different kinds of fancy rocks), weigh/ measure them at the ounces you want. (normally 3-4oz per person is the desired amount.) Add dirt and mix the rock contents together into a reusable color pail
Approximate cost per kid for 3oz of fancy rocks is between
65c, and 75c. for 4oz per child, it would be 75cents-87cents each
Option Number 2 - You purchase fancy rocks by the ounce already weighed out with a piece of pyrite included in a plastic bag. open the pre-weighed bag, mix the dirt in, offer it to the miners in the included bag or put into the reusable pail.
Approximate cost per kid: 3oz with pyrite: $1.00 ea. 4oz with pyrite
