Summary:

I’ve had the fortunate opportunity to make multiple visits to the Blue Point Amethyst Mine, but really got to explore it fully on my most recent trip over the border in 2024.

You have the choice between 3 or 4 different public mines if you’re traveling to Thunder Bay. In my personal experience, I have had the most interactive and encouraging experience with Jordan at the Blue Point. He truly wants those that explore the mine to leave with the best finds possible.

There is always new material being blasted and the tailings pile is littered with deep red and bright purple. I believe current prices are $25 CAD per bucket, which you can see me fill up in the video.

This almost reads like an advertisement with how much I’ve enjoyed the place, but I had a true 5-star experience that surpassed my expectations. Those that have visited a few will know that “dig your own” places can be hit or miss.

This one is an absolute hit!
