[Rockhounds] Stoklosar Marble Quarry

[Mark Stanley]

The Stoklosar Marble Quarry is several km north of Madoc, Ontario on Highway
62.  It  produces marble
for terrazzo floors.  While the quarry, or quarries, are probably close by,
to the east of the highway, the mill is right beside the road.

Quite a few years ago I tried to get permission to collect, but the owners
are not interested in giving access to collectors.  I have never seen any
crystallized specimens from the quarry.  There is alot of Tremolitic marble
in the area, so there is a good chance that it will produce Tremolite
crystals.
