Some of the Quartz Crystal agates from Lake Superior

in #rocks7 years ago (edited)

These are some of the rocks all over the beach here on Gitchee Gumee (Lake Superior) .... they are mostly quartz crystals and orange and red agate.

Millions of them. I will be collecting them all summer and Sharing photos here.

Wow that's amazing! I love gems! Agate is very nice.. what about other gems? I think there is nany diamonds mines in canada too. Need to see whats more can be found near agate, maybe there is more valuable gems in the area
Nice 👌

Yes... I will look for diamonds this summer. There is also silver and gold up in Northern Ontario.

Sounds like a dream! I wish i could find some gems, in my area there is a lot of quartz. But it worth nothing
I found natural clay here too

These are beautiful! Yet another reason I should get up there..... I haven't been there since I was two.
