Very interesting. They gave us an appointment for the afternoon and we thought it would be worse but the views were spectacular and the visit is worth it. Thank you.

the activity was great. the snow train the talk and the digging all great fun. it was a bit further away than we had realised. it was advertised as a 3 hour excursion. in reality it was 3 hours of travel plus best part of 3 hours at the mine. amazing scenery, I am pleased with my amethyst
