Epistolite

This image has been released to the public domain and may be used freely.

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

The main part (top) spans ~ 3 mm. MOB coll.

Typical anhedral MSH epistolite. In this photo I tried to avoid reflections as much as possible while still keeping the epistolite visible. Without any reflections at all the stuff just vanishes into the background.

This is from the very complex and unusual assemblage with raite etc. described in http://www.mindat.org/photo-163780.html

There is a stereo child photo.
