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

Height of field about 1.5 cm. Ex Jean-Pierre Beckerich
The shomiokite-(y) is well terminated and has a habit similar to http://www.mindat.org/photo-187861.html. But the xls are more or less covered by a grainy pale gray "mud". The tips of most xls are free of this coating and show that the xls are essentially colorless.
The "mud" is unfortunate ...
