The mountains near Spruce Pine, North Carolina, are among the richest in minerals and gems in the United States, and more than 300 varieties are showcased in the Museum of North Carolina Minerals, located on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Because of the Parkway's popularity, this museum may introduce more people to minerals and gems that any other such facility in the country.
