About Stettler
Stettler, in the farm country of central Alberta, is known among provincial collectors for angel wing quartz, which the Calgary Rock and Lapidary Club pictures from this locality in its rockhounding compilation. Quartz and calcite sit alongside selenite, amber, garnet and fossils on the club's short list of minerals found in Alberta. In this part of the province, river banks are the standard hunting grounds for such material.
