The Scratch Patch

Due to the historic relationship between Ostrich and semi-precious stones, the Ostrich Farm is really exited to have a Scratch Patch and Mineral World outlet right here on the premises.

South Africa is often referred to as the “gemstone capital of the world” because of the incredible mineral wealth that is found here and Scratch Patch and Mineral World is the ideal place for visitors to experience some of the amazing wealth and variety firsthand.

The Scratch Patch has become world-famous as a place where you can have fun “scratching” for unique and colorful tumble-polished gemstones from countless thousand that literally cover the floor. Whether you are young or old, a visit to the Scratch Patch is an experience that one doesn’t forget!

Al the Mineral World Gemstone Shop you will find an incredible variety of gemstone products. It’s the perfect store to find inexpensive gift items to take to friends and family back home or to treat yourself to something really special like a unique gemstone carving, an investment gemstone piece, or gorgeous gemstone jewellery.
