When your uncle owns Morefield mine, what do you use for fireplace stone? In this video 📽️, Silas Morefield's nephew's wife shows the quartz, amazonite, and even amethyst in their one-of-a-kind fireplace.

Ferne Osborne Hutchinson still lives in Amelia--fairly close to the mine. She's the owner of Amelia Family Bluegrass and Amelia Campground. Her builder, a man named George, build the fireplace shown in the video. As it happens, Bill Baltzley built a custom fireplace at Morefield mine, as well. But I've looked at it all over, and I haven't seen any purple amethyst in that one.
