Amethyst is produced in plenty from the state of Minas Gerais
in Brazil where it take place in large geodes within volcanic rocks.
It is also found and mined in South Korea. The largest opencast amethyst vein in
the world is in Maissau, Lower Austria. Much fine amethyst comes from Russia,
especially from near Mursinka
in the Ekaterinburg district, where it take place in drusy
cavities in granitic rocks. Many localities in south India
harvest amethyst.
One of the largest global amethyst producers is Zambia in southern Africa with
an annual production of about 1000 tonnes.
žAmethyst forms at many areas in the United States. Such as the Mazatzal
Mountain region in Gila and Maricopa Counties, Arizona; Red Feather Lakes, near Ft Collins, Colorado;
Amethyst Mountain, Texas; Yellowstone National Park; Delaware County, Pennsylvania; Haywood County,
North Carolina; Deer Hill and Stow, Maine and in the Lake Superior region of Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Michigan, and Ontario in Canada. Amethyst is fairly common in Ontario, and in many
places throughout Nova Scotia. The largest amethyst mine in North America is
located in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
