What a wonderful surprise to meet Pearl-guide member Dave LeBlanc on a lapidary field trip to Vancouver island. He has a mineral claim there and one of the stones is this Pink Rhodonite. I cut and polished this cabochon, set it in silver, and added a pearl to honour our shared love of pearls. So nice to meet you in person Dave.

Thank you Linda, so very kind. Yes, I was also surprised when our paths crossed and it's wonderful to see this pairing of first loves.
As you've seen, Hill 60 is an amazing site. It's the forerunner of all the rhodonite claims on the island and renown for it's lapidary quality. The mine is greatly historical, close to home and has a considerable inventory.
Field trip days are my favorite times at the mine. Meeting new friends, putting faces to names and gaining contacts with extraordinary lapidary artists makes the experience worthwhile.
I hope you'll visit again, soon.
