A beautiful and bewildering material, the Red Amethyst of Thunder Bay, Ontario in Canada and in  Keweenaw County, Michigan, area is an Amethyst like no other. A ruddy, brick red surface caused by inclusions of iron Hematite conceals an interior of vibrant purple crystals. A striking combination of great beauty and value! I have two boxes here and they are all sizes! These are just a few, have larger ones, 6 lbs or more. Some iron ore shows in the matrix rock and some in the crystals themselves making them look maroon.
