Searching for Snow Quartz in the Beautiful Bruce Bay, New Zealand

Bruce Bay's Enchanting Secret: The Quest for Snow Quartz
As we continued our trip around the South Island of New Zealand we heard that snow Quartz was to be found in plentiful amounts at a delightful place called Bruce Bay. The beauty of the vista could get no better even on a subpar day, even the sandflies could not take from the picturesque symphony beheld.

Wow That Creek is awesome! And those pieces of Micha are very awesome.

Wow to the sandflies!!! pretty driftwood - pretty mica too. The shine on the snow quartz is good. Still jealous of your trip - thanks for sharing! Yummy to the agates, I thought you just cut them, but seeing it large & polished is striking too

Love the chunk of Mica, it definitely pays to have a closer look.

The white quartz that you tumbled is gorgeous! As well as the mica! Just gorgeous! And the rest of the tumbles as well! Beautiful finds! Thanks for sharing!

@@largent45 there's something mesmerising about this snow quartz it keeps catching my gaze and feels satisfying just holding it, might be that it's one of my newer rocks.

Those mozzies sounded terrifying at first I thought you had just added sound effects! Snow quartz is one of my favourite crystals/rocks though sadly none of mine are from NZ.

[@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976]

Such a wild looking spot. Those mozzies sound loud 😂

[@NewZealandRocksDownunder]

So big as well, one had to spit them out when I opened my mouth to talk lol

[@nicolagraynewzealandrockho8976]
