Our Mining Site Offers
We chose Sedona because it is unlike anywhere else in the world. People travel here to heal, to connect with its vortex energy, and to experience its breathtaking landscapes. For us — as teachers of metaphysics, personal development, and healing — this is the perfect place to weave together all that we believe in. Prospecting can happen anywhere, but here, it is more than digging. It’s about connection, energy, and leaving with something meaningful that you can share with others.
An experience that will give you a good feel for what the old-time prospectors must have felt during the days of the original Arizona Gold Rush. Quartz is abundant and is also an area for crystals, turquoise, amethyst, jasper, agates, opals and some can be found above ground. Arizona is one of the highest caliber rockhounding states and receives visitors from all corners of the world in search of Arizona gold, rocks, gemstones, minerals and fossils which find themselves scattered across this geologic treasure trove. This is a good place for gold, and the surrounding area of buttes and mountains are good places for gems. Yavapai County where our claim is located in the central part of Arizona, ranks first historically in the State in gold production.
