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

FOV 3.5 x 2.5 mm. Modris B. coll.
This has been analyzed via XRD/EDS but not (quantitatively) microprobed and according to Pavel Kartashov "If it hasn't been microprobed you don't have parisite". But even so it's an interesting pseudomorph. The interior of the "xls" is very spongy (see the broken PS at bottom center) and none of the original ...

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

FOV 3.4 x 2.4 mm. Modris B. coll (ex Ron Waddell).
Ron's note says that this was checked by Dr. G. Chao but it doesn't say if the analysis included microprobe. According to Pavel Kartashov "If it hasn't been microprobed it isn't parisite". But even if it's bastnasite the striking apple green color is unique and interesting.

Parisite-(Ce) : Ca(Ce,La)2[F2|(CO3)3], Calcite : CaCO3

La Pita Mine, La Pita, Maripi, Vasquez-Yacopí Mining District, Boyacá Department, Colombia

5.1 x 3.6 x 2.7 cm. This is a beautiful, colorful (unusually so!) crystal measuring 1.4 cm, ensconced in a protected vug of crystallized calcite within massive calcite. One so rarely sees parisite on crystallized matrix from any locality, and the contrast to these calcites really adds a lot, visually, to the desirability of the piece.
