	Poudrette quarry (Demix quarry; Uni-Mix quarry; Desourdy quarry), Mont Saint-Hilaire, Rouville RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada A very large example for this form of carletonite, which, due to its size has also acquired an opacity not common to the others here. It is a bit rough-looking and is missing one corner at the bottom. The demarcation between blue and white is so sharp and distinct. 1.6 x 1.6 x 0.9 cm . Mindat.org Photo of the Day - 3rd Oct 2006
