A few years ago I got to complete another wish on my life list when we did the 1300 mile Circle Tour around Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake in North America.
On the north shore we got off the highway and drove back on gravel roads to reach the family owned Amethyst Mine Panorama, located 60KM East of Thunder Bay Ontario, near the town of Shuniah.
The Mine is an active working quarry and is the largest deposit of amethyst found in North America. It was discovered in the early 1950s when an access road was being constructed to build a forest fire lookout tower.
There is a gift shop and a lapidary workshop refining the raw rock from the mine into gift items offered for sale. There are guided tours available and amethyst everywhere!
There were several huge boulders on display near the parking area.
The weather had become a bit threatening and we wisely chose not to do the tour or wander around too much.
But this is the chunk of amethyst that I brought home with me!
