Hello everyone,
This is my birthstone and it is one of my favorites. I have a number of LSA with amethyst in them (can't wait to polish those up).
In the first pic I got the amethyst from a friend of mine who found it on a landscaping job buried in the earth here in central Minnesota. It was in an area that was covered in lots of brush - no one had even been in that small patch of land for years wich leads me to believe it was there naturally. I have included pics of the other sides of this big rock. Hmmm, it makes me wonder what other rocks are out there in MN, I have been trying to find out what other rocks and crystals by looking on the Minnesota DNR website to find out but it is not much help. I just think that with the volcanoes that were here millions of years ago there must be other semi-precious gems out there. Well that is just my thoughts.
