Finding Geodes in Quebec's Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean Region

Geodes—hollow rocks with crystal linings (quartz, amethyst, calcite)—are not known to occur in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean area. Their formation requires specific volcanic or sedimentary conditions (gas bubbles in lava, mineral precipitation in cavities) not present in this region's geology.

Known geode localities in eastern Quebec include areas near:

  • Mont-Joli (Bas-Saint-Laurent)
  • Saint-Fabien (Rimouski-Neigette)
  • Saint-Honoré-de-Témiscouata (Témiscouata)

If you're searching in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, you're unlikely to find geodes. Focus on the documented sites above, and always obtain landowner permission and follow collecting regulations.
