Next, you will have the chance to dig for your own lucky amethyst using traditional tools in a sheltered area protected from wind and snow. If the stone you find fits in your closed fist, you can take it home as a meaningful souvenir of your time in Lapland.
This is one of the most eco-friendly gemstone mines in the world. All mining is done by hand without the use of heavy machinery to preserve the natural environment.
Before returning, you will have time to visit the small Amethyst Shop on site. Here you can browse locally made jewelry and souvenirs crafted from Lapland's own gemstones. Purchases are entirely optional and not included in the tour.
To finish the day, enjoy a satisfying break with a sandwich and a cup of hot chocolate, the perfect end to your Arctic experience.
This tour is ideal for nature lovers, curious minds, and those seeking a calm yet fascinating Arctic adventure.
