have you ever wondered about why the waters of georgian bay can appear to take on a beautiful aqua colour? it's a product of light refracting through calcite in the water
calcite comes from the dolostone that makes up the escarpment Rainfall events (rain is naturally slightly acidic) or water agitating surrounding rocks can cause calcium carbonate to leech from the stone or other calcium-rich compounds, such as marl, and crystallize in the lake water, becoming calcite. These crystals double-refract the light (also called birefringence), creating the beautiful hue that our eyes see.
