Identity HelpA few pieces from MacGregor Lake, QC. (old mine not listed on mindat yet)
I went up to a place I noticed on google earth which was fenced. It looked like an old quarry and in Quebec they generally fence old mines, no matter how remote so I though it would be a good place to collect. It is right almost directly on the spot if you type in Mine Blackburn..yet i don't think it's the blackburn mine on mindat..possibly an older one....
One of them looks almost like a very black garnet. tetra(can't remember the word).....It's fractured in half. It's either hornblende, or radioactive possibly? I really don't know.
Fluorite? Or purple garnet of some sort...probably fluorite judging on how much was at the location...
Strange fractured black crystal (hornblende, radioactive, (garnet??probably not)
Just some other randoms...
I know you can only guess without exact hardness info but guesses are fine...it's very close to Lac Edelweiss, Macregor Lake, Cantley etc. (Val des monts)
What is the hardness of the purple stuff? the white stuff? The second photo looks like biotite. 
Check the document on this link, maybe it will help you:
- See in page #16 - they relate occurrence of mica (in french).

First and third pc: The red one is quartz with hematite inclusions (do a hardness test). For the second pic I also think biotite.
