Admission is $2 per car at a guard gate (since it's very near the mining operation), and they give you a free piece of ore with interesting transparent properties. My wife and I spent 45 minutes there one Sunday, where each display was explained to us personally by a host, as there was no one else there to occupy his time! [Mike May, 01/04/1999]
