It is set up like a typical antiques mall with items provided by different vendors, so you'll see some items priced higher than others based on who the vendor is, but I found the prices overall to be good. I stocked up on vintage glass decanters that were priced well below what I would normally see at similar stores in other cities, which was surprising given that resort town prices are often inflated. We met a vendor as we browsed, a friendly older gentlemen who asked about the items we were inspecting and told us where he sources most of his wares, and the lady who checked us out was also helpful and kind. Lots of records and toys, but you'll also find all the variety of items you expect in an antiques market. Finding the set of chicken decanters and the world's largest witch's broom were worth the trip even if I hadn't scored so many of the decanters I was searching for that day. We will definitely make this store part of our itinerary every time we return to Sugar Mountain.

We were expecting a run-of-the-mill gem mining operation, but we got so much more! Du Bois was such…read morea great guy, and he made the kids feel welcome, special, and super excited about gems. We ended up spending around 90 minutes here, most of it was mining for gems then learning about what we found from Du Bois. His energy and love of rocks was something you don't see every day. We can't wait to come back. Also, ironically, we first stopped at Sugar Creek gem mine in Banner Elk, but everyone was packed in a small room and their payment system went down when we arrived. So we went down the road to the Greater Foscoe mine and had one of our best experiences in the mountains. Highly recommend it.

The staff was incredible we love Dabois, Mike, Logan, and the gemcutter Zack were all fantastic. Zack cut a tourmaline and set it in gold to replace the pendant I had lost. It was so beautiful. He also made a set of citrine consisting of oval cut stones for earrings, ring and pendant. Gorgeous. My husband got a ring with 3 stones. My daughter got a ring of rose quartz, a Mexican opal pendant and our granddaughter got an emerald ring. And they were done in 24 hours!!
