Summary
A jewelry shop in Southeast Alaska, Miner’s Gems, just paid a $20,000 penalty after being caught selling fake gold quartz—manufactured outside the state—as authentic Alaskan glacier gold. An undercover probe revealed employees lied to customers, claiming the jewelry was made from natural Alaska gold. Acting Attorney General Cori Mills called it outright dishonest and said the settlement protects tourists, honest businesses, and Alaska’s reputation for genuine gold jewelry. The state now has the power to conduct surprise inspections to ensure Miner’s Gems—and others—aren’t misleading shoppers again.
