Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Sérandite
Locality: Poudrette quarry (Demix quarry; Uni-Mix quarry; Desourdy quarry), Mont Saint-Hilaire, Rouville RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada (Locality at mindat.org)
A truly superb miniature with TOP color and TOP lustre, that is also complete all around. Note also how well-formed the unusually sharp termination is! Only a very few specimens had such sharp form, and those usually have dull lustre at the termination (though not this one!). Moreover, the piece is given a bit of character and color contrast by the association of a 1.8-cm stark white analcime crystal on the side, making it one of the better miniatures I have seen for sale in years. Front, back, and sides are shown so you can see it is complete. Note also the very good translucency when backlit (bottom panel). This is an underappreciated species, to my reckoning, and long after MSH closes people will be considering it an essential part of any fine collection because of the beauty and rarity. 4.3 x 3.0 x 2.5 cm
