A stunning garnet cluster from a long closed and flooded mine in Quebec. All the gems pulled from the Jeffrey mine were pulled on its last week of operation. Once they closed down and the pumps shut off the water reclaimed it all.

With such amazing colour in the patina I couldn't bring myself to clean it off. Set a little blue Spinel from Nunavut and called it done.

Fun little free form cut in the shape of the province that produces all these amazing Ammolite fossils. Thanks @tm_opals for supplying it.

Blade calcite and quartz hand mined from the Bull river. Nothing rare but a fun little mineral sample.

Cerussit is a lead carbonate crystal. Quite common to find around lead/galena deposits. These have a higher luster than diamond but is so soft that most wouldnt even survive the cutting process.

Zooming in real close for this shot. Azurite, quartz, and sparkly gellina in the back. Hand mined by me from the hills around Moyie, BC.

Funk yah! Took an hour to find a spot worth digging but sure happy with what I got! Spent about 2h working an old river bench in the woods.
