Best Answer

Many countries mine amethyst, the mines range from small family operations to large operations with heavy equipment, producing gem stock, specimen material, and decorative material, from a few tons to thousands of tons per year. A fairly good list of amethyst producing countries would be: Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia, Argentina, Canada, USA, Zambia, Namibia, Madagascar, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Austria, Australia. Doubtless there are others.
