Formerly: Molybdenite Occurrence, Highway 5 extension, Hull Township, Gatineau Co., Québec, Canada
Molybdenite-bearing calcite. One of many molybdenite occurrences in the area, but the only one having produced excellent specimens. The main calcite vein reached 20 cm wide and contained the larger molybdenite crystals. Related veins, to 4 cm wide, contained minor molybdenite on pyroxene and feldspar. The road cut was exposed during the construction of this section of Autoroute 5 extension (Phase I) during 2008-2009.
Calcite hosted in calc-silicate rock on the floor of a road cut.
