Amethyst Mine Panorama is the largest amethyst deposit in Canada. It was discovered in 1950 as a result of a road being built to the forest fire lookout tower visible from the mine sight. Amethyst production started in 1960 and the mine has produced continuously since then. The mine produces 40% useable amethyst by volume. A large digging area, open to the public, contains 20% useable amethyst and is the main source of "pick your own" amethysts.
