Summary:

The Diamond Willow Amethyst Mine is one of many that pop up on billboards as you head about an hour East of Thunder Bay, Ontario.

This mine provides buckets and small tools. The mine allowed me to bring my own hammer and chisel, but asks that you check with them about your tools first. They had tools on site to use as well.

When you’re here, try striking rocks along their quartz seams to get clean breaks. Dirt piles may also contain amethyst as well if you move enough tailings. You’ll see a large fence above the machinery in the vein where the amethyst itself comes from.

You can get to this area with any vehicle, even though it’s a dirt road to get in.
