Ontario

Ontario is known for producing a variety of interesting and unique minerals. World-class amethyst crystals are found near Thunder Bay. Manganite is found at Atikokan. And well-formed black fluororichterite crystals occur near Wilberforce. Bancroft is best known for its mining history and diversity of minerals. Each August, the Rockhound Gemboree is held in Bancroft. Here, dealers and collectors trade minerals and field trips to nearby localities are arranged. Many fossil localities exist in southern Ontario as well.
