Black Light Mining Night

Colorful fluorescent rocks glowing in hand under black light at night.

Please join us for this one-of-a-kind nighttime experience at Rose Creek Mine!

Spend the evening at Rose Creek Mine sifting for naturally fluorescent gemstones while also enjoying seasonal snacks and apple cider. Each ticket comes with a bucket mixed with fluorescent minerals, a complementary “made for minerals” black light, UV glasses, and a Rose Creek Mine gift bag.

We are only offering 30 reservations each night to ensure that our guests receive the highest quality experience. Additional fluorescent mineral buckets may be purchased throughout the evening for an additional $100 each.

We suggest that the minimum age for attendees be 10 years old.

Upon your arrival, we will check you in for the evening and guide you to your seat on our fully covered flume.

Our gift shop will also be open during the event. Consider cracking open one of our Trancas geodes which also fluoresces green under a black light and check out our other fantastic fluorescent minerals.

At the end of your visit, we will identify all the amazing minerals you found throughout the evening and put them into personalized labeled bags, so you know exactly what you found when you get home!

The cost of the evening is $150 per person.

And we know that to them that love God, all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose.
