Visiting
Local Gems
Thunder Bay is in the heart of amethyst country. These semi-precious gemstones are found in quantity only here and in a few other locations in the world. However, where else will you find amethyst of such quality, and in such quantity? Visit the area's open-pit mines for a fun pick-your-own gemstone adventure. Gift shops throughout the city and region carry items and jewelry crafted from amethyst.
Amethyst was adopted as the official gemstone of Ontario in 1975.
