Diamond Willow Amethyst Mine has collecting areas set up right along side of the Amethyst Vein where it is mined from. This is where visitors to our mine can collect from. We are a very active mine, we drill and blast in our pits on site and dig out the Amethyst for our shop and add to the piles where you can collect from daily. Everyday at the mine brings new treasures of Amethyst. You can also find traces of pyrite, galena, barite, Calcite on feldspar blended in to your finds. We have also been seeing a lot of different shades of Purple, red, citrine and black amethyst samples. Here in the picture are some great samples that one of our visitors found while collecting this summer.
