So the other day nativenoobowyer and myself decide to go rock hunting.... we went to a lake superior archeology display earlier that day and learned that the local rock around here was mainly Taconite, and agate.
Most of the points there were made of this rock. When we found out that the thunder bay area had once been known for its taconite deposits we decided to go find some the same day. Didnt take long from getting out of the van and finding a nice band. Guess we were lucky. I was recently finding smaller chunks of this stuff all over down the creek and wanted to know where it was coming from. well we found it. below is an example of what we found... it was the first flake i took. Sry for the dark color to the picture. some of it was blueish, some purple and some black... heres an example of the purple.
