Did you know we sell beautiful Four Peaks Amethyst right here at the Superstition Mountain Lost Dutchman Museum?

And here’s a little bonus: because we’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, there’s no sales tax on your Museum Shop purchase!

🎄 Early Christmas shopping… dare I say it? 😏🌵

Shop local, find something uniquely Arizona, and support your Museum at the same time. 💜🚁⛰️⚒️

More than a mile above the desert floor, Four Peaks Amethyst begins its journey at roughly 6,200 feet (1,890 meters) above sea level. ⛰️💜

High in the Mazatzal Mountains, the mine’s elevation is part of what makes this deposit so remarkable. Every crystal is recovered from a rugged mountain environment far removed from a typical commercial mining operation.

Arizona’s amethyst doesn’t come from an easy place to reach and that’s part of its story.

Want to see it in person?! There are still a few seats left on our public tour dates:
• October 17th
• November 14th

Call us at 480.434.6074 to book your flight! Private tours are also available.

Then come see genuine Four Peaks Amethyst in person at Four Peaks Mining Co.

📍At the Arizona Boardwalk in Scottsdale, AZ

A little feather repair goes a long way. 🪶

Our resident taxidermist and wonderful volunteer, Kent, recently stepped in to refresh a roadrunner and repair the top feather on one of our Gambel quail in the gallery—and judging by this photo, he seems pretty pleased with his handiwork. 😄

It’s these little things that remind us how much of the Superstition Mountain Lost Dutchman Museum runs on the talent, generosity, and willingness of volunteers to simply say, “I can help with that.”

From repairing exhibits and caring for the grounds to greeting visitors, sharing history, and tackling the hundred little jobs that keep a museum going—our volunteers make this place possible.

Thank you, Kent, for lending us your time, your talent, and your steady hand. The quail is looking mighty handsome again! 🤠🪶

Museums preserve history. Volunteers keep them going. ❤️
