  • Ever wonder what you can find on the shores of Lake Superior? Well wonder no longer! I walk you through all the different kinds of interesting rocks, minerals, and gemstones you can find while rockhounding the North Shore. I was so lucky this trip and found 2 pieces of amethyst, gold, agates, jaspers, beach glass, and so much more! It is definitely one of my favorite trips of the season!
    Shout out to my awesome patrons: Ancient Soul, Michael Trudell, Ellie Mayne, Lisa Sierras, Cooper Moon, Rick, Jennifer M, Kevin Kloth, Julia Shoemake, Herbert Wilson, Dwayne Smith, Karley "Bioanthro", Paul, tennesseemsu, Steve, and Chris-I truly appreciate your support!

    The amethyst is cool, especially for a LS find, but the fractured agates just 🤯! Love the scoop! That’s exactly what I would want to do if I were there. I would pick a spot, sit there and go through it till I’m satisfied. I’m too near-sighted to be walking and stooping trying to spot something on the fly. You found some great rock rocks❤

    My family sometimes goes to Door County (WI) to visit Lake Michigan, and I have collected a few rocks that caught my eye. I haven't been able to identify them (or more like I haven't tried), but I now realize that I have several agates around the size of my fist (~5 inch diameter).
