点评:My teens had a lot of fun gem mining at Sugar Creek. The staff was friendly and we found a lot of nice gems. But when we asked about jewelry making, we were informed that they only cut the gems. They do not offer jewelry making. This was a surprise (and a disappointment) to me because their website has "Jewelry Making" as a major header on the main page. Once I looked back at their website and read the details, I did read that they can send the gemstones out to be cut by a lab. It doesn't say that they will make the jewelry. So now I have to find a place to make the jewelry with my cut gemstones. I just think they should change the header on the website to say "gem stone cutting" vs "jewelry making" so that it is more clear. Other gem mining locations I have been to (i.e. Foggy Mountain Gem Mine) offer both the gem stone cutting AND the jewelry making - for a lot less money than it cost me to get just the gem stones cut at Sugar Creek. I guess I could have walked out and gone elsewhere - but we were on a schedule and Sugar Creek was located closer to the other activities we had scheduled that day. In summary - for basic gem mining - Sugar Creek is great - but go somewhere else if you want jewelry made from the gems you mined.
翻译:我十几岁的孩子在 Sugar Creek 有很多有趣的宝石开采。工作人员很友好,我们发现了很多不错的宝石。但是当我们询问珠宝制作时,我们被告知他们只切割宝石。他们不提供珠宝制作。这让我感到惊讶(和失望),因为他们的网站将“珠宝制作”作为主页的主要标题。当我回头查看他们的网站并阅读详细信息后,我确实读到他们可以将宝石发送出去由实验室切割。它并没有说他们会制作珠宝。所以现在我必须找个地方用我的切割宝石制作珠宝。我只是认为他们应该将网站的标题更改为“宝石切割”与“珠宝制作”,以便更清楚。我去过的其他宝石开采地点(即 Foggy Mountain Gem Mine)提供宝石切割和珠宝制作 - 比我在 Sugar Creek 切割宝石所花的钱少得多。我想我本可以走出去去其他地方 - 但我们是按计划进行的,而 Sugar Creek 离我们那天安排的其他活动更近。总之 - 对于基本的宝石开采 - Sugar Creek 很棒 - 但如果你想要用你开采的宝石制成的珠宝,请去其他地方。
