Thanks Tom for that valuable information !
There is another Amethyst Mine in Az called
Purple Passion

Someone is still working the Four Peaks mine. The first time, about 7 years ago, I was there I saw a guy but the keep out signs were not inviting and the guy I saw on the hillside just sat down and watched me, no wave, didn't seem friendly. I've passed through that site a couple of times since on my way to or from a hike to all four summits. Nobody was present but there was evidence that it's still being actively worked.
Here's a website I found for the folks running it. http://fourpeaksmining.com/mine-history/

Wow thanks for the info & the link George !
serious hiking huh?

That web page is sparse -but one of the best I’ve ever read
And the pictures are great
