Yes, but a good many of them are tourist attractions that seed buckets (add stones from several locations, including outside the US) so that visitors are able to "find something". I've been to both seeded mines, and ones where you dig material yourself, and each can be fun, depending on what you're looking to find. I did a web search for "Tennessee gem mines" and got quite a few results: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=tennessee+gem+mines&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8
If you're more into digging your own material, or want native stones, you might want to contact one of these groups for suggestions: http://www.mtgms.org/clubs.htm

I heard there was but I'm not certain. My husband wants us to go to some this spring and summer though.
