Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Niveolanite
Locality: Poudrette quarry (De-Mix quarry; Demix quarry; Uni-Mix quarry; Carrière Mont Saint-Hilaire; MSH), Mont Saint-Hilaire, La Vallée-du-Richelieu RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada
FOV a bit > 6½ x 4½ mm. (Probably) found July 2002. MOB coll.
This is one of two small fragments, probably from the same specimen as shown in [1]. These fragments were carelessly dumped into the same box as [2] and [3] (because that’s where the UK white fibers that I didn’t know what to do with went) and caused no end of confusion years later because some of the niveolanite came off and settled on the other pieces in the box. Aaargh! But it is pretty clear that this is niveolanite (probably with some mixed in dawsonite and some other white fibrous mineral insoluble in HCl), because it exhibits the characteristic “slow fizz” and has no REE. The brown stuff is siderite/rhodochrosite
