Sounds like you had a productive trip all around. Can't wait to see the pics. Sounds like this is more than a hobby, you sound very knowledgeable. Be sure to post the pics of the pyrite cubes please!

Bancroft trip

We went to the Princess Sodalite shop/rock farm, where we bought some rocks and "farmed" some more. Also went to the CN rock pile where my (9 yr old) daughter and I spent some time looking for treasures. Alot of pretty stuff! The van was quite weighed down on the way home!
