I collected a few hundred lbs of miscellaneous rocks and minerals on the deserts of Arizona and want to take them home to Canada. Any comments from experienced travellers on this issue? Is there a problem with that import?The rocks will be for my personal use as a collection of various minerals. Thanks in advance.

not allowed to bring minerals, rocks, shells, petrified wood or anything like that.

A few hundred pounds, that's a good pile of rocks.
