Walking the beaches of my native Nova Scotia is always a joy for me. This week, after working a 12 hour shift. I stopped at one of my favorite 'haunts' and decided to walk towards the cliffs of Clare's coast. After walking a mile or so along the rocky beach I noticed there was a glimmer in the rock above me. Going over...lo and behold, there was a large pyrite deposit among the rock there. What a treat to see the veins of pryite working thru the black stone! I did find a sample to bring home for my collection too .A large piece had broken off and I now have this to remind me of the find : )
