Roadcut on a logging road near Black Tusk peak, Whistler area, British Columbia.
Bacon (2014) has a locality entry and a map for the Black Tusk quartz crystals. He gives the road log to the site and says: There are more crystal locations around here so watch for the diggings of others. The crystals here are very nice. Some are clear and others are coated with "pixi dust" (possibly micaceous chlorite).
