The only gemstone mine in Europe offers a great insight into the mining of various gemstones in Idar-Oberstein. During a guided tour, you not only see the tunnels (and regularly hit your head with your hard hat), you also discover exposed gemstones such as agate, jasper, rock crystals, amethysts, smoky quartz, calcite in situ, i.e. still in the rock.
Admission € 7 for adults
Last admission 4 p.m., the tour lasts just under an hour.

The Gemstone Mine is the only open-to-visit visitor mine in Europe. Expert guides explain how the gemstones are formed.
Opening times are from March to November daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You should register beforehand.
We found it very interesting. The temperature is 9 to 10 degrees.
