Getting my copy of the Mont Saint-Hilaire book spurred me on to firstly collate the species that I have from there (which is 84, including 14 Type Locality species), then get to and photograph them.
This is a specimen of yellowish pseudohexagonal plates of synchysite-(Ce) with tiny pyrite crystals sprinkled on them. White albite crystals at the base. Ex Joan Lamond Collection. Acquired by Joan in 1993 from Cynthia Peat (peatite-(Y)). Width of view 3.5mm. Stack of 30 images.
