The province of Quebec, particularly areas like the Mont Saint-Hilaire region, is known for producing fine mineral specimens, including albite. In pegmatites, albite often grows alongside minerals like quartz, mica, tourmaline, and spodumene. It forms in environments with slow cooling, allowing for large and well-defined crystals. 

Albite is thought to help with decision-making, problem-solving, and overcoming fears of the unknown.  Many believe it promotes calmness and adaptability, helping one embrace change with confidence. 

Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.
