These are from the Harricana River Valley in Quebec, Canada.
The glacial concretions found in Quebec, Canada, particularly those from the Harricana River valley in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, are fascinating geological formations. Known locally as "Fairy Stones," these naturally occurring sculptures are formed over thousands of years through the gradual deposition of calcium carbonate on small pebbles and fossils. Their unique, flat disc shapes, often smooth on one side and intricately patterned on the other, make them a subject of interest not only to geologists but also to collectors and nature enthusiasts. The diverse morphology of these stones, which can vary greatly depending on the specific conditions of their environment, is a testament to the complex processes that shape our natural world. These stones are a beautiful example of the artistry of nature, sculpted by the slow and steady forces of glacial movement and mineral deposition.
