Arfvedsonite : [Na][Na₂][Fe²⁺₄Fe³⁺][(OH)₂\|Si₈O₂₂]
	Poudrette quarry (Demix quarry; Uni-Mix quarry; Desourdy quarry), Mont Saint-Hilaire, Rouville RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada Exceptionally sharp crystals for the species, with excellent sculptural form, and great luster! Though the bottom termination is extended and hoppered a bit, it is terminated all around and is a floater with no attachment points! These are from a new find in December of 2003. 7.8 x 4.4 x 1.4 cm

Arfvedsonite : [Na][Na₂][Fe²⁺₄Fe³⁺][(OH)₂\|Si₈O₂₂]
	Poudrette quarry (Demix quarry; Uni-Mix quarry; Desourdy quarry), Mont Saint-Hilaire, Rouville RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada The xl is about 2 x 2 x 1 cm. Via Jean-Yves L. It has not been analyzed but it's not from a marble xenolith so it's most likely plain arfvedsonite. Sept 2009: Replaced parent and added stereo child photo. This time I used Zerene Stacker (but not to generate "synthetic" stereo - see comments with child photo.)
