Ontario Mineral Localities
Here I'll be posting writeups and photos of miscellaneous Ontario mineral localities. The minerals of the Beryl Pit have been covered, but the other localities have only site and mineral photos at the moment. If you've got photos you'd like to share, let me know.
| Important: Mineral localities listed on this website are not necessarily open for collecting. Some are fee sites, open only on specific days of the week, some are active mines, some have irate owners who do not take kindly to trespassers. Find out who owns the property and whether they allow collecting before you go pounding on any rocks. Those foolish enough to trespass on posted land or enter active mines or quarries without permission endanger themselves and may cause the permanant closure of that site. |
