Vancouver Island Gemstone

Vancouver Island is home to some amazingly beautiful rock and gemstone. I’m an avid rockhound and field trip coordinator for the Parksville and District Rock & Gem Club. I’ve personally found and collected all the samples shown. I hope you enjoy the photos. I’ve also posted some scenic & nature photos below. I welcome comments and questions from fellow rockhounds both near and far. You can reach me via the contact page.
