2012 Prince Edward County Rock and Mineral Show

By Corey Lablans

Here are some photos from this past weekend's rock and mineral show in Picton at the Crystal Palace. This is the first year they have held a show. It was very nice, with a dinosaur display when you first enter the palace. Several nice specimens to be bought and a lot of jewelry if you were looking to spruce up your wardrobe. I ended up buying a irradiated smokey quartz crystal, which allows for a deep black crystal. The other crystal was a cluster of hematite coated quartz crystals, likely from Jiu Bao San Mine, Wuhuashan, Jiangxi Province, China but I need to find out.
