点评:What an epic adventure! I’m so happy they opened the real mine for us to enter. The $350 price was very fair as you are allowed to keep a five gallon Bucket with any rocks and opals you fancy. I was so lucky to have Kade help me on several occasions. He is a gazelle and with both hands full of opal laden stone he woukd hike down the treacherous slope just to make sure I was okay and then he gave me all those stones he found while walking around! He is so smart and took time to explain how the opals are formed. He even helped me carry my bucket when he saw me struggling up the hill. Everyone who works at this establishment are very kind and attentive. The mine provided several drink options and lunch (which was insanely delicious) all included in the price of the dig. I could not believe how much fire opal I found. I was so addicted that I drove back the following day to dig the tailings behind the shop and I found several gorgeous stones. I usually don’t break for lunch but after eating that delicious meal the day before I made sure to stop for lunch. The owner of the mine was truly a sweetheart. I love that it is a family affair and that she considers everyone of her employees to be her family. Working the mine dig were: Kade, Ty, and Isaac in the store: Leo, Erin, Eric , and Becky. Kade helped me choose a stone from all my finds to make a piece of Jewelry for my mother. He showed me all the options and again I’m so impressed with his patient and kind demeanor. I always have so many questions. I’m very grateful for this wonderful experience.
翻译:真是一次史诗般的冒险!我很高兴他们打开了真正的矿场让我们进去。350美元的价格非常公道,因为你可以带一个五加仑的水桶,里面装着任何你喜欢的石头和蛋白石。我很幸运,Kade 多次帮助我。他像瞪羚一样,双手捧着满是蛋白石的石头,他会徒步走下危险的斜坡,只是为了确保我没事,然后他把在路上找到的所有石头都给了我!他非常聪明,花时间解释了蛋白石是如何形成的。当他看到我费力地爬上山时,他甚至帮我提着桶。这家店的每位员工都非常友善和细心。矿场提供多种饮品和午餐(非常美味),所有这些都包含在挖掘费用中。我简直不敢相信自己发现了这么多火蛋白石。我太着迷了,第二天我又开车回去挖掘商店后面的尾矿,发现了几颗漂亮的石头。我通常不休息吃午饭,但前一天吃过那顿美味的午餐后,我特意停下来吃了午饭。矿场老板真是个贴心人。我喜欢她把员工当成家人一样对待,把员工当成家人一样对待。参与矿场挖掘的有:Kade、Ty 和 Isaac;店里的有:Leo、Erin、Eric 和 Becky。Kade 帮我从所有找到的宝石中挑选了一块,准备做一件送给妈妈的首饰。他向我展示了所有的选择,他的耐心和友善再次给我留下了深刻的印象。我总是有很多问题。我非常感激这段美好的经历。
