Collecting Stones

Hidden Treasures
For hundreds of years geologist, ordinary people, amateur rock hounds along with the naturally curious have scoured mountain sides, fields, beaches and anywhere they travelled looking for stones. For most of us shapes and colours catch our eyes and attract us to the rocks we collect. Here at Loughbreeze Bay, stones and rocks of every size are in abundance. Our immediate area is a treasure trove for stones with the markings of a wide range of small animals. Regularly our visitors carry some specially chosen ones home as mementos of their visit with us.

More Treasures!
Our grandchildren are particularly pleased to find heart shaped rocks. Bleadsdale Boulder located in Quinte West is reported to be the largest glacial erratic boulder in North America. It’s as big as a house!
