If I could give Jae's Gem Mine 6 stars, I totally would! The owners, James and Melissa, are so knowledgable and friendly. Their passion for their business is palpable.
They carry a large variety of gemstones in all price ranges as well as jewelry and fossils.
I found a quartz in the shop that I absolutely love and inquired about getting a custom ring made. I expected them to give me the names of a few jewelers that could assist me in making my ring dreams come true. Nope!! After asking for some details of what I was looking for, Melissa took the ball and ran with it! The amount of time Melissa and James put in looking for the perfect stone and ring setting made me feel like a VIP customer. To say I am impressed by the ring and the customer service I received is an understatement.
When you find yourself in the area, stop in! I guarantee you won't be disappointed! Thanks for everything, Jae's Gem Mine!
We went today, and this place did not disappoint. Beautiful rocks, crystals, and other specimens that you can't take your eyes off of. The owners are very kind and well informed with all they have.
Our daughters loved chatting with the owners and had so much fun doing both activities of breaking geodes and mining through sand to find gems and fossils.
It's such a great place and a must go see if you're in Nashville. We will definitely be back again.
This place is epic! Truly a hidden gem for any rock lover. Very easy to navigate. The owners are so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. This will be a frequent stop and required stop for when I'm passing through town. The quality and the prices are excellent. Highly recommend!
My Boyfriend and I found this wonderful place on our long weekend getaway for my Birthday last weekend. Jae and Melissa are such a great couple. Both of them are very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. This store has SOO many gems and neat things. We actually came back to this store before we left to come back to MI. They have amazing prices and such a variety. Definitely will be back from MI
Been here many times. He has really cool stuff and obviously is passionate about gems and fossils.
Bring your kids, this is a cool shop. I bought some copal from Madagascar, had lots of cool bugs in it
