  • I join the (CCFMS) for a day of collecting crystals at a local Niagara Falls area limestone quarry. Over the years I have found good specimens of Fluorite, Galena, Sphalerite, Gypsum and Celestine at this quarry, it's always a good time with good people.
    Collect, rock hound, explore, dig and hike at your own risk

    Very common and typical suite of minerals in limestone / dolomite strata .
    Those sphalerites and fluorites were gorgeous .

      It's a nice quarry, but it's hit or miss at this site. Sometimes nice stuff is found, most trips just fun smashing some rocks.

    Was looking for you came across a large pocket of crystal clear selenite. Can’t believe how clear it is. Wish I could load a picture.

      I am amazed at how fast the specimens from this quarry tor from baby blue to clear once they get exposed to the sunlight. I was cleaning a chunk outside a few days ago and it's already changing to clear.
