Wow, jo's right. The lace is awesome. But you know Darryl, that bay of fundy material you collect runs a damn close second!

Hey Darryl,
I like the McKay Head stuff, too, especially the middle slabs in the 2nd photo.
My wife and I are planning a trip up there this summer. Looking forward to hounding with you.
Chuck

Chuck:
PM me with details of your visit this summer. I will ensure that you don't go home empty handed.
If you get tired of the amethyst, agate, jasper, chalcedony, gypsum, selenite, stilbite, chabazite, calcite, hematite, magnetite, laumonite, natrolite, analcime, apophylite and quartz ... the area is also rich in fossils.
Darryl.

Jeri:
The sites along the Bay of Fundy are well researched (geologically) and well documented for the rock hound. However, the descriptions of locations are generalized. There are no publishished GPS coordinates to take you to specific finds.
Over the past year, I have been finding better stuff as I push harder into more remote areas. I have found a number of "specimen" pieces including crystals, but nothing that a museum is going to fight over, yet. However, the museums are full of choice, local materiial, so it is out there somewhere.
I think I need to invest in a sea kayak to get to some of the islands, where the causal collector can not go.
My rule of thumb for Bay of Fundy collecting is "If you can get there easily, it's probably already gone".
Darryl.

Do you ever part with some of the slabs from Bay of Fundy, I'd love a slab or 2 cuz I'll probably never get there. It's beautiful
