These are the finds from my first day of Spring rock hounding at McKay Head, near Parrsboro, Nova Scotia. There’s a mixture of blueish chalcedony, red and yellow jaspers, Nova Scotia bloodstone, banded agate, moss agate, and plume agate. Pictures were taken wet under fluorescent light, but the camera white balance was adjusted to compensate, so the colours are close to real. Given the way my feet, back and arms feel this morning, I’d estimate it was a 4 mile / 80 pound day. Darryl.

Darryl, you sure do find some amazing stones! Every time you come back from a trip, I know I am going to see a whole lot of color! I think my favorites (for this time of looking) is the Second to last picture. There is one on the top row, second in that has all the breccia that looks great and the bottom row, third in with it's dark background and the reds, I just love it! Fran

Very nice finds Darryl! I agreee that your finds are spectacular, and you definitely earn them by the hike you do to get them.
