Demix-Varennes quarry, Saint-Amable sill, Varennes & St-Amable, Lajemmerais RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada

FOV 1.8 x 1.3 mm. Modris B. coll (thanks to the Horvaths)
The bright white sprays (mostly just left of center) are lemoynite. This specimen is from the only known find of lemoynite at STA. The lemoynite is associated with natrolite, bits of pink eudialyte and a great deal of smectite. Fortunately the smectite did not bury the lemoynite.

Lemoynite : (Na,K)2CaZr2Si10O26·5H2O

Poudrette quarry (Demix quarry; Uni-Mix quarry; Desourdy quarry), Mont Saint-Hilaire, Rouville RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada

FOV 1.2 x 1.0 mm. Modris B coll.
This is a recently analyzed specimen from the Poudrette pegmatite. The red/brown resinous "caps" usually seen on earlier finds are totally absent here. (Incidentally, according to Horvath, those resinous caps have NOT been ID as hisingirite or neotocite as is commonly claimed.)

Lemoynite : (Na,K)2CaZr2Si10O26·5H2O

Poudrette quarry (Demix quarry; Uni-Mix quarry; Desourdy quarry), Mont Saint-Hilaire, Rouville RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada

FOV 5.7 x 4.7 mm. Modris B. coll.
This specimen was labeled before natrolemoynite was recognized as a separate species. To me it looks the same (http://www.mindat.org/photo-175227.html) so "lemoynite" should be regarded as a generic name here.
