Gaspe Canada Heart Stone from Gert Cote

Gert Cote, from Massachusetts, is a fellow lover of heart stones and other treasure. She found this stone in Gaspe and writes:



"My husband and I were searching for treasures in the "Baie de Chaleure" in the Gaspe region of Canada...New Brunswick can be seen on the other side. I spotted what looked like a heart stone, but could only see the light green moss just underneath the waters edge. Stepping on different rocks to retrieve it, it layed almost all submerged in the water and mud,( notice the outer dark edge of the stone,) it was one inch in mud, full of slime...but I could see a definite heart, just needed to rinse it off and to my amazement, a perfect "HEART" lay in my hand. My heart was racing and I called to my husband to come and see. To continue on my search for more stones, I placed this stone on a piece of drift wood that had washed up shore from the wood mining mills across the bay in New Brunswick. Even this wood had been weathered from years of being idle on the beach. It had been stripped of all its bark from the harsh winter that Canada has to offer. We continued to pick many stones after that one and have given most of them away to friends and family."



Gert, Thank you for sharing your treasure and initiating the ROCKSWAP that this blog will feature.



Feel free to send me your treasures with their stories and I will post. Lets grow a community based on heart stones!
