Fire and ice, in the form of volcanoes and glaciers, created Lake Superior. That happened long before Jake came here to fish. One billion years ago, molten basalt erupted from the mid-continent rift, which extended from near Thunder Bay, Ontario, to Kansas.ire and ice, in the form of volcanoes and glaciers, created Lake Superior.

Lake Superior agate. The Lake Superior agate is a type of agate stained by iron and found on the shores of Lake Superior. Its wide distribution and iron-rich bands of color reflect the gemstone's geologic history in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. In 1969 the Lake Superior agate was designated by the Minnesota Legislature as the official state gemstone.
