Would love to go hunt for some. Maybe get some GPS coords if you can. My wife and I were members of the Rochester Lapidary Society last year. Just have been too busy to do it this year. We did enjoy it, and will probably rejoin again next year. Hi Luckysmom, if you find some Labrodorite, let me know. Would love to go hunt for some. Maybe get some GPS coords if you can.

I'm not sure where Canadice lake is but I have heard of Labrodorite occurring in the Adirondacks. I've been told its in the star lake area. I'm hoping to find some this summer..... Do you belong to the Rochester lapidary or mineral club? Steph Hi there,

I'd love not to have to travel boocoo hours to go rockhounding, and some agates would be nice to add to the collection. I was planning a trip to the gorge myself. I don't have the book you're referring to, but was going to try the same area in my search. You mention gray rocks in your post, and the picture in the book is a collection of bluish gray nodules. Nothing extravagant, but would look nice sliced and polished if it had some slight color variance in it. I was going to try to go shortly after the spring thaw and the water has washed some fresh material through. Let me know if you're going to go another time and I'll help expand the search.
