PhotosQuartz - Road cut on Chemin du Lac, Sainte-Anne-du-Lac, Adstock, Les Appalaches RCM, Chaudière-Appalaches, Québec, Canada

This was my favorite specimen from the Chemin du lac, Adstock Qc road cut and I lost it!! I looked and looked, damn! But the original photo was not accepted because it was "too dark". I don't know if that was due to the black back ground or the specimen. But the only chance I have of sharing it is with the help of lightening it up with a little help from photoshop. I hope it is not too obvious. Anyways post it if you like. I have been studying these two road cuts, since they are only 12 minutes from my house and I am limited in my traveling for a while: The Rt 269 road cut and the chemin du lac road cut in Sainte Anne du Lac, Adstock, QC. This is interesting geology because it exposes the same formations. Caldwelll olcanic and metavolcanics that were deposited in the bottom of an extinct ocean (Japetus) and during the closing of the ocean they were fold and mixed with ocean sediments (shales, sandsones,slates). During the movements there formed a lot of tension cracks that are filled with quartz, epidote, albite, some hematite and chalcopyrite. Who knows what else.

I would like to add to the Chemin du Lac road cut the following minerals that I am sure I have seen: quartz, chlorite, epidote, specularite, albite and malachite.

Hello Fred,

The problem is not the background but the image itself. If you lighten the image in photo shop or some other program that should do the trick. If you can't do that then email me the picture and I can do it for you. I use Microsoft Digital Image and attached is an example of what I mean:

I don't hav your email. If you give it to me I will send the original photo. This was a nice piece but Damn, now I can;t find it for the life of me!

I still thing it is worthy of being recorded.
