Mine Tours
getting Up close and personal with crystals
— Crystal Sanctuary Archives —
In the past, guided tours were given regularly at Mine Cristal, (Crystal Sanctuary). Between 1989 and 2019, hundreds of thousands of people visited the site and learned about quartz crystals and our crystal deposit.
After that, the tourism vocation was permanently discontinued – now there is no longer any public access to the mining site.
Below are a few of our favourite photos of the mine tour.
The guide’s lively explanations brought to life the geography, history, geology, mining, industrial uses, technological applications and subtle energies of quartz crystals.
Tour participants examined and admired the unique geological site; a massive white quartz vein with sparkling crystals.
The guide helps visitors examine a big crystal.
Participants sat under a gazebo at the crystal deposit, while the guide told them all about crystals.
Visitors discovered a giant quartz vein, with crystals peeking out here and there in the cracks and cavities of the vein.
During tours, children had the opportunity to become mini-miners and unearth their very own crystal, which they could keep.
