The Secret Files: Tunguska Hints
Where can I find the amethyst?
1 of 15: This one's fairly tricky, and will involve some scientific work.
2 of 15: Start your search in your father's office.
3 of 15: Particularly, look at his desk, near his phone.
4 of 15: There is a piece of stone on his desk, and if you look closely, you will see a purple object embedded inside it.
5 of 15: Amethysts are purple, so this is definitely what we need.
6 of 15: However, we need to separate the rock from the stone inside.
7 of 15: Perhaps something to burn away and corrode the rock?
8 of 15: There's a bottle of acid somewhere in the museum.
9 of 15: It's in Max's Office.
10 of 15: It's in the refrigerator at the far right side of his office.
11 of 15: However, we can't just pour it over the stone -- we need something to put the stone in.
12 of 15: The solution is in your father's office, near his rock tumbling machine.
13 of 15: There is a glass flask in there.
14 of 15: Put the stone inside the glass flask, and pour on the acid.
15 of 15: Nina will automatically take the stone out at the right time, and you'll be left with a beautiful amethyst.
