The front page of the Field Guide features photos of agate, chert, obsidian jasper, basalt and beach glass to help you identify the treasures you find while exploring the local beaches. The Quimper Peninsula is a destination for mineral collectors looking to add analcime, calcite, quartz, copper, stilbite, thomsonite and vivianite to their collection.
There was only room in the field guide for 10 geologic must-sees - but this blog will feature dozens of additional must-see spots on the Quimper Peninsula - where you can spend time with friends of all ages. Explore and enjoy!
I would like a copy. It's not on Amazon. Not at the PT library. No luck finding this...
