Finding Treasures That Last A Lifetime
With Memories To Match
Little Big Gem Mine & Rock Shop
​
We are a locally owned family business located in beautiful Oldham County, just 30 minutes outside of Louisville, KY. You'll feel as if you've stepped into another world! Our peaceful farm is a magical place for the whole family. You can mine for your own gemstones on our 30' sluice by purchasing our pre-packaged bags of mining rough. Shop our cute little Rock Shop while the kids run wild and play in the sandbox, they each will get to keep two things that they find. Every adult also gets a free Kentucky geode that's found locally. While you're here be sure to check out our "Lodge" which is full of craftsmanship and antiques, you've just got to see it!
PLEASE NOTE: Being an outdoor activity we are a seasonal business open primarily from April 1-November 30.
If in doubt please call 502-553-3990, it's always best to call rather than email-I really can't stress this enough.
Due to many request we're now selling e-gift cards through Square! Just click the link below.
