Carletonite is a rare and visually delicate mineral best known for its soft blue color, though it may also appear in pink, white, or colorless forms. It crystallizes in the tetragonal system and has a Mohs hardness of 4 to 4.5, which makes it too soft for most jewelry applications but highly prized by collectors. It displays a vitreous luster and is usually transparent to translucent.
Carletonite was first discovered in the Mont-Saint-Hilaire alkaline complex in Quebec, Canada, which remains the only location where well-formed, high-quality specimens have been found. The mineral was named in honor of Carleton University in Ottawa. Although Mont-Saint-Hilaire is the only confirmed and significant source, there have been occasional reports of possible carletonite occurrences in Russia and the United States. These findings are extremely limited and typically lack the clarity and crystal quality seen in the Canadian material.
Name: Carletonite
Specimen Size: Miniature-Sized

Astrophyllite is a striking and rare mineral known for its bronze to golden-bladed crystals that radiate like starbursts, often embedded in a dark matrix of other minerals. The name comes from Greek, meaning “star leaf,” referring to its star-like crystal formations. It is found in locations such as Russia, Norway, Greenland, and Canada. This specimen of Astrophyllite crystals originates from the world famous site of Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Québec.
There are other traces of minerals such as pink albite, analcime and microcline in a complex matrix in a spectacular shape.
Astrophyllite is often seen as a stone of inner illumination and self-discovery. Some believe it helps reveal hidden potential and encourages personal truth, making it a supportive companion during times of change or reflection. It’s sometimes associated with letting go of the past and embracing a more authentic path forward.
This specimen is in very good condition and displays very well. Make this a special specimen in your collection.

Kupletskite is a rare and complex titanium-bearing silicate mineral most famously found at Mont-Saint-Hilaire in Québec, Canada. It typically appears as tiny brown to reddish-brown crystals, often with a glassy or resinous luster. The crystals are usually slender and prismatic and may occur alongside other rare minerals that Mont-Saint-Hilaire is known for.
Due to its rarity and specific geological conditions needed for formation, kupletskite is primarily of interest to serious collectors and mineralogists, especially those focused on rare earth or alkaline complex minerals. It’s not commonly available in large or showy specimens, so even small, well-formed crystals are considered notable.
This beautiful and rare specimen of Kupletskite from world famous Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Québec, would be a great addition to any collection.
Name: Kupletskite
Specimen Size: Miniature-Sized
Dimensions: 30x15x15 mm / 1.2x0.6x0.6 inches
Weight: 1.63 grams / .057 oz
Origin: Mont Saint-Hilaire, Québec, Canada
At this famous Canadian site, siderite typically forms as small, brown to tan crystals, often rhombohedral in shape, growing over or alongside white to gray albite. Scattered among them, tiny, sharp zircon crystals can appear — often reddish-brown, yellow, or even colorless depending on the exact specimen.
Mont-Saint-Hilaire is renowned for producing rare and unusual mineral combinations, and specimens like this highlight the diversity and richness of the location. While each mineral is interesting on its own, having siderite, albite, and zircon together in one piece makes it a well-balanced and attractive collector’s specimen, especially for those who appreciate the geology of the region
This is a very typical specimen of MSH and is in very good condition. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Howlite was discovered near Windsor, Nova Scotia in 1868 and named after Henry How, a Canadian chemist, geologist, and mineralogist. It often forms in nodules which resemble cauliflower heads. The nodules are opaque, white with gray or black veins, often showing web-like pattern.
Howlite is said to be an extremely calming stone, it can be an excellent antidote to insomnia. It is also said that Howlite teaches patience and helps to eliminate anger and strengthens positive character traits.

Faden quartz is a unique variety of quartz characterized by a distinct, thread-like white line running through the crystal. The term "Faden" comes from the German word for "thread," referring to this internal fiber-like formation. Faden quartz forms in fracture zones within metamorphic rocks, where tectonic forces cause repeated cracking and healing of the quartz. As the crystal regrows, liquid or gas inclusions get trapped along the break line, creating the characteristic white “thread” or fiber-like structure.
Many believe faden quartz symbolizes healing, connection, and resilience due to its unique formation process. It is sometimes used for energetic healing, strengthening relationships, and enhancing spiritual growth. The "thread" within the crystal is thought to represent a link between different aspects of life, making it popular among those seeking inner balance and alignment.
