n your secret life do you dream of being an adventure-seeking gemologist in search of the finest of earth’s treasures? If Indiana Jones-style escapades top your list then we have found an incredible opportunity for you. Sami Fine Jewelry hosts an exclusive tour of the Arizona Four Peaks Amethyst Mine just a few times a year, and you’ll want to book your seat now for this spring’s tour into the rugged desert terrain of the Matazal Mountains. Your day will begin at Sami Fine Jewelry, in Fountain Hills where one of Sami’s knowledgeable team members will show you why Arizona Amethyst rivals some of the most beautiful amethyst in the world. Transportation will be provided for you from that point on. And when we say transportation, that includes a helicopter ride into the mountains where the mine is located. On your ride to the helicopter take off point, Sami’s “Amethyst Guru” will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about the Arizona Amethyst mine, including interesting history and facts about the Amethyst. Once aboard the helicopter, prepare for an exciting tour of the beautiful Arizona desert. Soaring over the Matazal mountain range, you will fly above the Tonto national forest and then land on the Four Peaks Mountains. The mine is not open to the public, but tour guests will have exclusive access on this incredible experience. Not only will you get to see the rugged living and work conditions of the miners, but you will get to touch and take home real Arizona Amethyst rough. Every tour participant also leaves with a $100 gift card to Sami Fine Jewelry! Reservations are required as seats are very limited and you must RSVP with a $100 deposit. Tours start at $495 per person and last approximately 4-5 hours. Tour guests arrive at Sami Fine Jewelry 30 minutes prior to their scheduled flight time to check in, sign an insurance wavier, and pay the remaining tour price. This once-in-a-lifetime adventure definitely requires physical activity. While it’s not a terribly long hike in the mine, it involves an uphill climb in a rocky area. This spring’s tours are scheduled for March 23rd & 24th and April 27th & 28th, so don’t miss out! For reservations or for more information, please contact Sami Fine Jewelry at 480-837-8168 or visit www.samifinejewelry.com. AZ ArizonaKEY.com
