点评:Of the three amethyst mines I visited in Thunder Bay, this one is the only one that provides a formal tour.
It's also slightly more expensive than the other two: $10 to get in and $5/pound for any amethysts you find that you wish to take home.
They also have a nice gift shop and luckily, take visa, if you need it (I still recommend bringing cash).
There's much more on display here and to explore, so it would be my first choice for a school or family trip/ any trip with kids, especially younger children.
Also ideal for newbies because it's much easier to find crystals here.
The crystals I found were very dark purple (gorgeous deep colour).
There's an excellent selection of garden rocks of all sizes for sale also.
If you're a serious rockhound looking for a bargain find, this might not be your first choice, but I'd still hit it up.
If you're anyone else interested in amethysts, you have to check this place out!!
翻译:我在桑德贝参观了三个紫水晶矿,这是唯一一个提供正式游览的紫水晶矿。
它也比其他两个稍贵一些:入场费为 10 美元,您发现想要带回家的紫水晶则为 5 美元/磅。
他们还有一家不错的礼品店,幸运的是,如果您需要的话,可以带签证(我仍然建议带现金)。
这里展示和探索的东西还有很多,所以这将是我学校或家庭旅行/任何带孩子(尤其是年幼的孩子)旅行的首选。
也非常适合新手,因为在这里更容易找到水晶。
我发现的晶体是深紫色(华丽的深颜色)。
还出售各种尺寸的精选花园岩石。
如果你是一位认真的摇滚猎手,正在寻找便宜的东西,这可能不是你的第一选择,但我仍然会选择它。
如果您对紫水晶感兴趣,您一定要看看这个地方!
