Tyro

Tyro is an unincorporated community in Davidson County, North Carolina, about 7 miles west of Lexington and 24 miles south of Winston-Salem [1]. A hobbyist rockhounding-sites directory lists Tyro as an amethyst location, describing it as a fee-varies site best collected spring through fall [2] — but that's a thin, single-source listing with no named mine, land manager, or independently verifiable history behind it. Amethyst is documented in several other North Carolina counties (Stokes, Burke, Lincoln, Iredell, Moore, Warren, Franklin) as part of the state's broader quartz-vein geology [2], so a Davidson County occurrence isn't geologically implausible, but nothing here rises above "reported by one hobbyist site." Treat this as an unconfirmed lead rather than a documented collecting destination.

Tyro is in Davidson County, North Carolina, roughly 7 miles west of Lexington [1]. No specific collecting-site address or directions were found.

Not established — no source describes a specific technique, tool requirement, or accessible outcrop/vein at Tyro.

Land status and ownership at Tyro are UNVERIFIED. The one source describing this as a collecting site mentions a fee that "varies" without naming an operator [2], which suggests a private fee-dig operation may exist here, but this wasn't independently confirmed — don't assume any specific site is open without confirming directly first.
