Where are three places that I can dig for gemstones in the western part of Nova Scotia? I need the location and what can be found there and any other pertinent information.

Here are three places in Nova Scotia where you should easily find gemstones and minerals:

1. Amethyst Cove, between Cape Split and Cape Blomidon has been a source of amethysts for centuries. Care must be taken because of the extreme change in tides throughout the day. To reach Amethyst Cove, it's recommended to go by boat because the alternative option is to climb down an extremely hazardous path. The minerals that can be found at Amethyst Cove include hematite, calcite, agate, celadonite, native copper,  quartz, and malachite. 
2. Scotch Lake Quarry is located in Cape Breton County and continues to supply minerals such as pyrite, calcite, tremolite, pyroaurite, serpentine, dolomite, and graphite. The quarry was carved out of the Boisdale Hills, part of the Canadian Appalachians, and can be easily accessed from the main road.
3. Brier Island, is an island in the Bay of Fundy. It is easily reached from the mainland by ferry. Just by walking along the beaches on the island, you can find zeolite, agate, jasper, and amethyst.
