About Amethyst Gift Centre

Amethyst Gift Centre, established in 1982, features gifts and souvenirs crafted from samples taken from the Amethyst Mine Panorama, which has the largest amethyst deposit in Canada and is located just a short drive east of Thunder Bay. Amethyst is a gemstone found in Northwestern Ontario that ranges in colour from lilac to deep purple. The highest quality samples are taken from the mine to the lapidary workshop, which is located at the gift centre. These samples are crafted into a number of beautiful pieces, including jewellery, carvings, clocks, and beads. All of these and more are available year-round at the gift centre, so you don’t have to wait until the mine is open to purchase a beautiful, locally sourced amethyst gift or souvenir.

If you are in the area during the summer months, be sure to take a drive out to Amethyst Mine Panorama. It produces about 40% usable amethyst by volume, making it a significant source of this beautiful gemstone. Visitors can take guided or self-guided tours, with one of the main attractions being the 5-acre digging area where visitors can dig for their own amethyst.
