AMETHYST MINE PANORAMA

Amethyst Mine Panorama is the largest deposit in Canada. It was discovered in 1955 as a result of a road being built to the forest fire lookout tower (McTavish Tower) visible from the mine sight. Amethyst production started in 1960 and the mine has produced continuously since then... Enjoy guided and self-guided tours collecting your own Amethyst.
