NEWS
I've been very busy with gem and mineral shows this fall and now that they're finished I have a new update. I've added smoky quartz from the Ottawa Valley, some blue apatite from Quebec collected in the mid-1980s and some very interesting Colour-Change fluorite from Ontario. Perhaps the most interesting new gems are the grossular garnets from Quebec. These garnets appear green when viewed from the front. When viewed from the back they are colour-zoned with the green colour concentrated in a small zone on the bottom of the stone. Have a look for yourself.
