"In a quarry near the town of Quadeville, Ont., on the edge of the Canadian Shield, four dozen men, women and children are bent over at the waist, the unfortunate but requisite posture for rockhounds. They chip away at stones in the rubble or at great walls in search of samples of collectible rocks; most collectible of all at this location, rose quartz." (CANADIAN GEOGRAPHIC) This article discusses the annual trek to Bancroft, Ontario, to search for special volcanic and metamorphic rocks and minerals.
