Lost Mines of Atlantis

The Lost Mines of Atlantis is located in Sebring, Florida. The attraction offers an opportunity to "mine" for gems without having to deal with real mining conditions. The mines are filled with semi-precious gems and crystals. There are seldom weeks that go by at the mines without a new mineral being discovered. Prospectors visiting the mine have a good chance of finding citrine, garnet, amethyst, emerald, agate, opal, ruby, sapphire, tiger's eye, Herkimer diamonds, moonstone, petrified wood, hematite, peridot, onyx and chrysocolla. It is a safe, fun activity for families and will keep kids busy for hours. Onsite is a rock shop for those who have less luck in their own mining expeditions. The shop sells hard to find specimens, agate wind chimes, crystal and salt lamps, gem stone fountains, crystal cathedrals and agate book ends. You can also buy rock tumblers and lapidary equipment. The Green Man Curio shop provides a variety of odds and ends you are unlikely to find anywhere else. They sell shrunken heads, jackalopes, crystal skulls, pygmy blow guns, wood carvings from Timor Island, singing bowls and a variety of other metaphysical items. They keep a vast collection of sterling silver Celtic jewelry in stock, as well as dragons, fairies, swords and cloaks.
