| Description |
A cabinet-sized spectacular 1.5 ft high mineral specimen of serandite from a classic locality at Mont St Hilaire in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. On public display in the Vale Gallery, Museum of Nature in Ottawa, Canada. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serandite These unique towers of orange serandite and ancillary minerals formed in vugs inside a rare, highly evolved igneous intrusion. That should be crystals of white analcime on the left flanked by pale microcline on the right. The Mont St Hilaire quarries have produced a number of minerals new to earth science. Most of which you would need a microscope to see. www.mindat.org/min-3622.html The two most prolific Cdn mineral localities are Mont St Hilaire in the outskirts of Montreal, Quebec and Rapid Creek in the Yukon. Which sees Canada's best mineral locales being southern metropolis suburbia or way out there in northern Arctic remoteness. Drive to one or fly a helicopter to the other on diametrically opposed sides of the country, go figure. |
