Quartz ~ We find LOTS of it in the yard here and along the small creek where we often shoot! Like finding jewels!!
Continuing my exploration of Killarney, I was really surprised at what you could find by wandering around. Lots of little scenes which were really interesting, but also a few big scenes which I wasn't expecting. Who knew you could find views like this in Ontario? I'll definitely be back here!

This is a close up of where a cluster of crystals has been broken off (this sample usually lives outside in my rock garden) and it shows the formation of the crystals out from the centre.

Quartz var. Smoky. Scepter with a penetrator and wall rock from the lining of a pocket. These unusual scepters develop when a new crystal grows on top of an older crystal during a later period of rapid mineral growth. They occur in pockets found in a fractured and weathered Cretaceous granodiorite. The bulb on this scepter is 8 cm tall and 5 cm wide. Specimen was extracted from the cavity in seven pieces an had to be reassembled. Hallelujah Claim. Petersen Mountain. Washoe Co., Nevada
This is really a rough shaped piece of clear quartz about one inch across and only once I had put it on a coloured light source did the character held in the rock show his face !! Just holding the piece of quartz and looking at it from all angles one cannot see the man in the rock , nor was he on another few shots before and after .
All this spooky thoughts has reminded me of an old shot I posted years back and was taken by wife - please see in the comments the enlarged sight that has been spotted hidden in the scene - I have put the view in the first comment box , have a look , read the text and see the soul that has been captured !!

The Wallingford-Back Mine, located sixty miles northwest of Ottawa, was once the largest in North America. Before being abandoned in 1972, it specialized in a variety of minerals, especially feldspar and quartz.
In the dead of winter, when the Canadian temperature drops below zero, the creek water that’s filled the grotto for four decades freezes, creating a solid surface of ice. Recently, locals have reenergized the forgotten cavern with weekend pick up games.
Rocks protrude from the crystalline surface, and the players dodge occasional falling icicles. The sounds of slapped pucks and hockey sticks travel in echoes through the stone cathedral, games played in beautiful isolation.
You can see it large on black. Listening to Feeling Groovy.
Well, I still haven’t been out and about with the camera (apart from the odd shoot with friends, portraits and such like).... so it’s back into the archives I go. I enjoyed this particular evening sat on the rocks, beautiful light as the sun set..but the sky was a tad clear for my liking and i struggled for a composition here. So this was the outcome. I love the rocks around here though, the quartz looks pretty damn funky in these schists. Schists not sh*ts.
Sorry, i'm not about a lot at the mo. Will catch up soon.
A rock at the side of the path leading to the summit of Mount Keen reveals the sparkling quartz crystals, some of which have been discoloured a reddy-brown. Anyway, stop dallying, we've got more climbing to do!!
Mount Keen is my 11th Munro and this is my second time of climbing it. It is the most easterly of all the Munros and stands at 939 Meters (3080 feet), forming an almost perfect cone. A 7 mile cycle up Glen Tanar gets us to the foot of the 2 mile ascent up the mountain.
Quartz, Shangbao, Hunan, China.

I'm not a geologist, but I found these white veins in Sierra granite that I think are quartz. Seen at about 8,100' near Carson Pass.

Happy Saturday
Milky quartz is the most common variety of crystalline quartz. The white color is caused by minute fluid inclusions of gas, liquid, or both, trapped during crystal formation.

My visit to this site has been somewhat disappointing. The road was blocked off, with park guides guarding the path. The abandoned mine near Buckingham has been fenced off. Lots of quartz on the paths around but really no opportunities to explore the flooded mine.
