Carletonite (M193)
Named after Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada - this University did a lot of research concerning minerals from Mount Saint Hillaire. Carletonite is formed exclusively in marble xenoliths. Most of the best pieces came in a very short period in the mid of the 80ties. Crystals in this size and color never came twice, so this is really unique old material of this very rare mineral. Also the back-side is full with sharp terminated and huge crystals and not less attractive than front-display.
