点评:Would not recommend going to this mine, owner is rude and crazy, and will verbally attack you online for giving an honest review of the mine.
We visited on 9/13/25. We visited as a group of 4, everything started fine. Parking was tight and not clearly marked so we squeezed in and did our best to leave room for other people. We checked in at the office, paid and were told it would be a little while for our tailings pile to be ready, but they would take us to an area we could dig while we wait. That's fine, it was busy, a wait isn't an issue. An hour or so later I took a break and took my daughter to the car for some lunch. The office gal came up and knocked on my car window, and rudely stated "we have a problem here" I asked what the problem was and she said "the owner doesn't like when people park on the sagebrush. And there are signs that say you can't park on it." I told her as soon as my kid was done eating I would move the car, and that's exactly what I did. We genuinely had not seen any signs that said no parking on sagebrush, it was an honest mistake and it could have been approached in a much more respectful way. About 15 minutes after that incident she came to where our tailings pile was and asked again if I would move the car and started lecturing us about the signs. At that point I did lose my cool, I matched her attitude and rudeness and told her I'd already moved the car so she could drop it and leave us alone.
Employee drama aside we paid for a tailings pile but they couldn't be bothered to provide a properly functioning hose, or enough screens for the group. We did find some stones but absolutely not worth being treated like that.
To top it off I shared my experience on a Facebook page about Oregon Sunstones and got verbally attacked by the owner of Spectrum mine Chris Rose. If you're into paying people to treat you like sh*t and give you a subpar experience Spectrum is definitely the place for you.
翻译:不建议去这个矿,矿主粗鲁又疯狂,而且会因为你对矿场的诚实评价而在网上对你进行口头攻击。
我们于2025年9月13日参观了矿场。我们一行四人,一开始一切都很好。停车位很紧张,而且标识不清晰,所以我们挤了进去,尽量给其他人留出空间。我们在办公室登记,付了钱,被告知我们的尾矿堆还需要一段时间才能准备好,但他们会带我们去一个可以边挖边等的地方。这还好,矿场很忙,等待不是问题。大约一个小时后,我休息了一下,带女儿去车上吃午饭。办公室的那个女孩走过来敲我的车窗,粗鲁地说:“我们这里出了点问题。”我问她出了什么问题,她说:“矿主不喜欢人们把车停在山艾树丛上。而且那里有标志说不能停车。”我告诉她,等我的孩子吃完饭我就把车开走,结果也确实这么做了。我们确实没看到任何禁止在山艾树丛上停车的标志,这只是一个无意之失,本来可以用更尊重的方式处理。事发大约15分钟后,她来到我们尾矿堆所在地,再次问我是否愿意把车开走,并开始就标志问题训斥我们。当时我真的失去了冷静,我和她一样态度粗鲁,告诉她我已经把车开走了,这样她就可以把车放下来,让我们自己待着了。
撇开员工闹事不谈,我们花钱买了一个尾矿堆,但他们却懒得提供一根能正常使用的软管,或者为团队提供足够的筛网。我们确实找到了一些石头,但绝对不值得受到这样的对待。
更糟糕的是,我在Facebook上分享了我的经历,分享了关于俄勒冈州太阳石的经历,结果遭到了Spectrum矿场老板Chris Rose的言语攻击。如果您愿意花钱请人来虐待您,并给您低于标准的体验,那么 Spectrum 绝对是您的最佳选择。
