The Big Find: A Legend Continues
In October of 1972, one of the largest and most significant gem tourmaline finds in North American history occurred in the mountains of western Maine. This discovery created – and still creates – ripples in the American gemstone industry.
This fall, twelve artists from across the country were chosen to create one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry from exquisite Big Find gems, which will be showcased at the MMGM in October of 2022.

The pegmatites of Bancroft, Ontario, known as Canada’s mineral capital, are within the Grenville Geologic Province, a high-grade metamorphic terrane with extensive deformation. The Bancroft area pegmatites formed late in the Grenville Orogeny.
The talk will highlight the differences between the lithium-rich Maine pegmatites and the pegmatites in Bancroft.
