Grand Forks, British Columbia, Canada, is home to Rock Candy Mountain, named by miners of the mineral fluorite in the early 1900's. The fluorite crystals they mined were green and purple, and reminded the miners of the crystallized sugar candy their kids loved. Rock Candy Mountain is now a tourism site where people can collect their own crystals. It was featured on the Travel Channel show Cash & Treasures, where the host, Kirsten Gum, referred to fluorite as 'Rock Candy'.

Sugar crystal rock candy can be made anywhere, by anyone with sugar, a jar, and a string. It is sold in Grand Forks, BC, but is not manufactured there.
