Leifite with Rhodochrosite, Elpidite and Albite (2 specimens)

Item Description

Mount Saint-Hilaire is one of the world's most significant localities, and produces many "best in the world" specimens of a lot of minerals. This two piece set features thin white crystals of Leifite with silvery grey prismatic crystals of Elpidite plus sharp reddish colored crystals of Rhodochrosite and minor white Albite. A pair of cool association specimens, and really fun to view under the microscope. I'm told that collecting at the quarry is now forbidden by new ownership, so specimens will be nearly impossible to obtain unless they come from old collections.
