My internet will be turned on later today or first thing tomorrow
Over the weekend my husband and I traveled to Metamora, Indiana. I will be doing a walk with me post as soon as my internet get turned on, as there is way too much for my hotspot to handle the data that the post needs to upload all the photos for that post. But I really wanted to share with you guys my favorite little shop in this town. It is called the Mount Holland House.
This shop is filled with semi-precious and precious Gem Stone
Just about every precious and semi-precious gem stones can be found in the shop. There are 4 or 5 rooms in this house just filled with all kinds on neat items and raw stones. I love coming in here when we travel to Metamora and normally I always buy something. This trip was no different as I got a bracelet
The stone in this bracelet helps with tension headaches
One of the other cool things about Metamora is the fact you can finish mining buckets of gemstones
There are a few sizes ranging from $10 to $30. We bought the $16 bucket and was very pleased on what we found in our bucket. This is the first time in all my visits to Metamora that I have bought one, but now that I have I know I am hooked. I love gemstones and we got two uncut raw Emeralds in our bucket along with a handful of other great gem stones and even an arrowhead.
Here are just a few of the gemstones we found
We paid $16 for the bucket and once cut and polished we found way more than that in value
So it is totally worth it in my opinion to try your luck on what you can find. These same stones inside the store would have costs us way over $200 in the raw, I did not include a photo of all of them as I have my data issue going on while waiting for Comcast to come and get me finished hooked up so I can have my internet turned on. If you are in Indiana and you are near Highway 52 on the East side of the state, take a drive to Historical Metamora. You won't regret it. I will be doing a walk with me tour in the coming days to show you the whole town. This isn't the only special place in the town. It is just my favorite because I love gemstones.
