McLaren's Bay Mica Stone, looking to expand into the Asian
marketplace
We have found the market in Hong Kong,
China, Taiwan, Korea
and Japan
to be ripe for entry. Even the aquarium stone business alone is
starving for our products. The region's economy is growing at a blinding
speed, and products such as monuments, building stone, and other
market segments have been identified

Mayer Fedeli talks about Northern Ontario:
The Mayor of North Bay, His Worship

'ANYBODY WHO ISN'T MAKING MONEY,

The Northern Ontario region, in particular North Bay region is a great place to do
business. Superb transportation hub, Internet data fibre optic lines are
abundant, one of 4 airports in Canada that can land the world's largest
aircraft, Hwy 11 being widened to 4 lanes, clean water & air, natural
resources in abundance, inexpensive land, government grants and loans to
expand your business with research and development...what more could a

Our business is stone...
...and business is good!
 STOP! Before we go any
further, we must explain something about our amazing stone.
While almost magical in appearance it is nearly impossible to capture
the rare beauty on film.
It is like an elusive vampire or ghost in a story, something which
nobody can take a good photograph of. It just can't be
done! MICA STONE PHOTOS
So while you are navigating our website, please keep in mind it is next to impossible to
photograph our stone properly. The fancy surfaces sparkle like
a million diamonds in the sun, but in photographs you cannot properly see
these wonderful optics.
Only in person can you truly experience the wondrous and
overwhelming beauty that is McLaren's Bay Mica Stone!
Contact us
for a sample order since 'You Must See To Believe' this amazing natural
stone, and dream of it's applications and uses.
OUR PRODUCTS:
We have 5 main colours available consisting of SEA MIST GREEN
(Aventurine Verde), SUNSET RED (Aventurina Rosso), BLACK SATIN (Aventurina
Nero) GREEN OLIVE (Verde Oliva), BLACK OLIVE (Nero Oliva). There are a
variety of ranges in these colours, as well some new colours we have found
which have not yet been marketed. The location is a geological
phenomenon. From about 40 years experience with this stone, we have
determined that in all the world the SUNSET RED colour is found only
exclusively at our quarry. This makes some of our stone more rare
than gold, platinum, and diamonds combined ... despite this rarity we do
not gouge the market with high prices, and have an almost never ending
supply of product.
THE GEOLOGY:
Our quarry is situated within one of the oldest surfaces on the
planet. The stone was formed over 3 billion years ago by heat,
pressure and a variety of trace elements, and the surface was polished by
glaciers over many millennia. The main photo of the lake (above) is taken a
mere 300 feet from where we mine. We only surface mine, and do not destroy
the environment, but in fact we embrace it with a love for nature.
The stone varies in colour throughout the quarry in shades of red, green
and black. The stone is a semi-precious AVENTURINE stone being a
mica-quartzite-granite mix.
To add to the beauty and interest of this rock, it sometimes comes
studded with hematite, tourmaline, or garnet. As well some rare crystals
are commonly found. In many areas the rock is gnarled with quartz or
feldspar layers, giving it a unique and impressive twist. Not only is the
rock beautiful to look at, it is durable as a building and landscape stone.
The mica platelets make it resistant to algae and moss and this aspect
makes it especially attractive for water features and aquarium use.
