This specimen displays an attractive mass of well-developed Cubanite crystals with bright metallic luster and pronounced parallel crystal striations. Numerous reflective crystal faces create a sculptural appearance, showcasing the distinctive habits that make Cubanite a sought-after species among sulfide and Canadian mineral collectors.
Specimens from the Henderson No. 2 Mine are increasingly desirable as material from this classic locality is finite. The mine is closed, making quality examples attractive additions to both species collections and collections focused on historic Canadian mining localities that produced some of the finest cubanite crystals in North America. EX GEOasis Crystals Frank P. Butler
An excellent specimen displaying strong crystallization, attractive metallic luster, and provenance from one of Canada's notable copper-bearing mining districts. This top specimen is in very good condition and comes protected in a perky box. It would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection.

Polylithionite and Serandite on Microcline from Poudrette Quarry, Mont Saint-Hilaire (MSH), Quebec, represent a classic mineral and highly sought-after 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. Serandite forms beautiful salmon-pink to orange-pink prismatic crystals. Microcline matrix adds to the aesthetic and geological context, especially when the crystals are well-positioned and undamaged. Similar Microcline-Polylithionite-Serandite combinations are marketed as representative Mont Saint-Hilaire assemblages. Also, Serandite is the signature mineral of Mont Saint-Hilaire and is the most sought-after species coming from that locality.
This specimen was collected in 2003 making it attractive because much of the well-known collecting at Poudrette Quarry occurred before access became severely restricted, making older collected material more desirable. The contrasting crystal habits and colors create an attractive natural association that is characteristic of Mont Saint-Hilaire and collectors actively seek specimens displaying both minerals together. It is the perfect combination for those looking for a unique and beautiful addition to their mineral collection! Comes with the original and a Canagem Collection specimen card.

This premium specimen from Preissac Mine displays multiple perfect rosettes of metallic molybdenite and some greenish-gray flaky mica (likely muscovite or biotite) surrounding parts of the specimen crystals on feldspar matrix. The rosettes measure approximately 15-23 mm in length.
Molybdenite is commonly found as foliated masses meaning the mineral forms folia or layers, like the mineral mica. It is metallic gray, has a greasy feel, and is very soft at only 1 on Mohs' hardness scale. Its softness, metallic luster and gray color led scientists to mistakenly believe it was a lead mineral. This specimen shows the typical hexagonal layered structure of the crystal.
Some believe molybdenite is linked to intuition, transformation, and problem-solving, helping with mental clarity and adaptability. It is sometimes associated with the third eye chakra, thought to enhance insight and creative thinking.
