Amethyst is not typically found in Connecticut. It is mostly found in locations such as Brazil, Uruguay, and Zambia.
Some countries that have amethyst mines are Brazil, Sri Lanka and Madagascar.
The first use of amethyst was from the ancient Egyptians who use it as a gemstone at 3000 b.c.
Amethyst rocks are commonly found in geodes, which are round rocks with a hollow cavity lined with crystals. They can also be found in mineral deposits within volcanic rocks or as secondary minerals in hydrothermal veins. Amethyst deposits are often associated with quartz, as both minerals belong to the same family.
Yes, you can find amethyst there. It will most likely be of the mineral collector's variety, small clusters of crystals with uneven color and highly included, not the type of crystals that would normally be cut into gems that you would find in a fine jewelry store. Still, you might get lucky and the experience is fun, so why not give it a try if you are there? To my knowledge the best amethyst today is coming from Brazil and labs in Russia (buyer beware, it is virtually undetectable):)

Amethyst is a semiprecious gemstone, and is not very expensive to buy. When buying an amethyst one must look for an intense and uniform purple color with no inclusions. Even a small inclusion will reduce the price of the gem. Due to its abundant availability there is not much of a difference in medium quality gem and commercial quality. But excellent beautiful natural untreated amethyst can command good price. A small 3 ct stone can cost up to USD 5 per carat whereas a high quality big size amethyst gem stone could cost up to 50 USD per carat.
