Mining for Tourmaline gems in Woodstock, Maine

On our way from Bangor to Burlington, Vermont, we stopped in Woodstock, Maine to do some mining for pretty crystals and gems.  We bought a 5 gallon bucket of rocks and panned through them to find the good stuff.








Maggie was super excited - especially since her expedition to the cave in Acadia National Park Park the previous day yielded no crystals.


She had a necklace made out of the prettiest piece of green tourmaline that she found.


Here are some of the more colorful pieces of tourmaline, amber, quartz, and lepidolite that we found.
