Polylithionite and Aegirine from Poudrette Quarry, Mont Saint-Hilaire (MSH), Quebec, represent a classic mineral association from one of the world's most important alkaline intrusive complexes. Polylithionite is a rare lithium-rich mica that typically forms thin, lustrous hexagonal plates or rosettes with a silvery, pearly, or pale bronze appearance. It commonly occurs alongside Aegirine, which develops as long, dark green to black prismatic crystals Aegirine crystals that are often sharply terminated and may occur individually or in radiating spray. The contrasting crystal habits and colors create an attractive natural association that is characteristic of Mont Saint-Hilaire. 

Specimens containing Polylithionite and Aegirine are valued for illustrating the unique mineral-forming environment of this geologically significant Canadian locality. It is the perfect combination for those looking for a unique and beautiful addition to their mineral collection!

This combination of Serandite and Aegirine from Poudrette Quarry, Mont Saint-Hilaire (MSH), Quebec, is considered one of Canada's classic mineral associations. Renowned for its extraordinary mineral diversity, this quarry has produced some of the world's finest specimens of both minerals. Serandite forms beautiful salmon-pink to orange-pink prismatic crystals, while Aegirine grows as glossy black, often sharply terminated blades, that may occur individually or in radiating sprays. These minerals are often accompanied by white Albite or Analcime, producing beautiful specimens.

Serandite is the signature mineral of Mont Saint-Hilaire and is the most sought-after species coming from that locality.  This beautiful crystal cluster would be a great addition to any new or existing collection.

This is an incredible green/yellow fluorapatite crystal from Cerro del Mercado (Iron Mountain) at Durango, Mexico. It is completely free of the matrix and has a relatively perfect termination. The specimen came from the Earl Calvert Collection.

At Cerro de Mercado numerous veins containing gemmy, lemon-yellow to greenish fluorapatite crystals cut through the hematite massif. These crystals have been collected for decades from the area's iron mines, but they have become much scarcer with recent mechanization of the mining operations.

The bright, lustrous apatite crystals form hexagonal shapes with off-center terminations. They are found in vugs, often associated with quartz and calcite. Most crystals are around an inch in length, though larger crystals up to about 4 inches long have been found.

This is a 20.0tcw lot of beautiful natural purple-yellow bi-color Ametrine from Bolivia.  There are 6 unheated and untreated pieces that range in size from approximately 8x6 - 12x11 mm.  This is the exact lot that you will receive.  

Ametrine is a gemstone that is a combination of amethyst and citrine, which are both varieties of quartz. It displays a beautiful blend of purple and yellow colors due to the presence of iron impurities. The name "ametrine" is derived from the combination of "amethyst" and "citrine."  Ametrine is relatively rare compared to other gemstones and is mainly found in Bolivia, although it can also be found in smaller quantities in Brazil, Uruguay, and India.

Ametrine combines the calming and spiritual properties of amethyst with the energizing and uplifting qualities of citrine. This combination is thought to promote balance, harmony, and mental clarity. Ametrine is also associated with creativity, confidence, and overall well-being.

Sodalite is usually found in the massive form, rather than crystals. Its name is derived from its sodium content. This stone is frequently found with lapis lazuli, but contains little or no golden pyrite specks in it as lapis does. It may, however, contain patches or streaks of white calcite. Although some people think that sodalite resembles lapis in some ways, it is entirely different in chemical composition and has more of a navy blue coloring.

Pyromorphite (lead chloro-phosphate) was a common mineral of the oxidized zone of the Broken Hill orebody, and exceptional specimens of various crystal forms and colors were found. Some examples were yellow and some brown, while others were green. Their crystal habits varied from almost needle-like to thick barrels. This example illustrates one of those forms – barrel-shaped, six-sided, clove-brown crystals.

This hard to acquire specimen is in good condition.  A rare and really beautiful specimen. Would be a great addition to any new or existing collection.

This is a must have 27.4 gram Impact Melt Rock from the Stac Fada Member Impact Structure, NW Scotland. It measures 66x37x5 mm.  Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection items you'll ever own. Impactite is a slag-like glassy object found on the surface of the earth, formed from rock melted by the impact of a meteorite.

The term impactite encompasses shock-metamorphosed target rocks, melts or suevites and mixtures of the two, as well as sedimentary rocks with significant impact-derived components and shocked mineral grains, tektites, anomalous geochemical signatures, etc.

This beautiful Impact melt rock comes from the Stac Fada impact structure in Scotland. The structure has an estimated age of about 1.2Ga (1,200 Ma). The Stac Fada Member of the Precambrian Stoer Group in Scotland has previously been described as volcanic in origin. However, shocked quartz and biotite provide evidence for high-pressure shock metamorphism, while chromium isotope values and elevated abundances of platinum group metals and siderophile elements indicate addition of meteoritic material. Thus, the unit is reinterpreted as having an impact origin.

This gorgeous slice displays very well.  Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with two a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This is a superb looking part slice of Sahara Desert NWA 2229 meteorite.  It weighs 1.8 grams and measures 16x16x3 mm. Although still considered unclassified, this meteorite was given the provisional class of R3.8 Rumurutiite. 

This is a great specimen with many multicolored chondrules and CAIs.  It's a Dean Bessey meteorite but unfortunately many of his finds were never fully submitted for analysis.  It is a shame for this particular specimen, as it is just spectacular.

This piece displays extremely well with its professionally finished cut face. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
