I’m not suggesting these rocks will bring you good karma, but rather are the result of it. And the story begins …

Last week Laura and I chartered a zodiac with two collecting friends in tow. We crossed the Minas Channel between Parrsboro and Amethyst Cove. The name Amethyst Cove conjures up images and expectation in a rockhound’s mind. It’s also known as Captain Kidd’s Cove, but Nova Scotia pirate folklore will have to wait for another day.

The morning crossing was unusually calm and the water was flat. When we came across a field of floating debris, we hauled in a number of lobster buoys, line, plastic bottles, etc. The Skipper is a bit of an environmentalist and we did our part to reduce a few targets for unintended marine life that can get snagged up in this garbage.

We good karma earned, we spent three hours rummaging through the rock falls and along the beach and kept our fingers crossed for a few good fids.

It's great you got payback.

Great Karma .. We just got back from a trip to get some obsidian, trilobites and sunstones in Utah. We always take lots of trash bags to haul stuff out and put it in a dumpster whenever we go. Karma to the good is great !!

Beautiful for sure !
