Crystal Seen runs an unusual model: reserve by phone, pick up a gate key and a map, and work two old mining pits on your own until dusk. No machinery is running and no guide comes along, so it suits people who would rather poke slowly along a vein than share a working pile. Reservations are taken over the phone only - the website will not book you in.
