In the1960s, Geological Survey of Canada mineralogist Ann Sabina was
tasked with developing guidebooks on rock and mineral collecting in
Canada to address the growing public interest in geology. The result was
an enduring Survey classic.
In 1964, Sabina, using existing literature, developed three volumes in
the series Rock and Mineral Collecting in Canada, which covered mineral
localities in different regions of Canada.
