Jewels of Luosto – Standard tour to Amethyst Mine
Lampivaara Amethyst Mine is unique attraction in Lapland. This real and special gem mine is located on top of the fell in the middle of Pyhä-Luosto national park. The geological age of the area is billions of years. The view at and from the mine is breathtaking and the site beams positive energy stored in stones. Amethyst Mine is operating in extraordinary way: no big machines are used for digging and none of the rich deposit is sold as a raw material. The sustainable Amethyst Mine is welcoming visitors all year round. The open quarry is partly covered and well lighted for digging in the winter time.
Standard tour includes:
* Return transfer with Amethyst pendolino, a special snow train. Departures are from Luosto center, Ukko-Luosto parking lot and Lampivaara Café.
* Storytelling about amethysts, history and geology of the area. You get to hear how amethyst crystals were formed already 2000 million years ago and some beliefs of this amazing purple gemstone.
* The joy of digging and finding own lucky stone. Everybody gets to keep one amethyst that fits in the closed fist. There is also chance to keep even the whole catch with a small extra fee.
*A visit to Little Stone Shop. See locally made stone products and amethyst jewelries. Amethyst of the Lampivaara is not sold to retailers so this jewel of Lapland can be bought only from us.
Standard tours are guided in English.
