Summary

edit
Description
English: Garronite (FOV 3.1 x 2.2 mm)
Locality: Poudrette quarry (Demix quarry; Uni-Mix quarry; Desourdy quarry; Carrière Mont Saint-Hilaire), Mont Saint-Hilaire, Rouville RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada
Garronite is a very rare mineral closely related to gobbinsite, which occurs more abundantly at MSH. While most MSH gobbinsites have a very characteristic appearance as aggregates of striated "chevrons", not all MSH gobbinsite looks like that. Some supposed garronite has turned out to be gobbinsite instead.
These very pale blue "xls" have not been analyzed so the ID is based on visual comparison with other garronites - which may be equally unalyzed!
The dark fuzzy balls are an unidentified mineral. Three attempts have produced conflicting results. But it's probably chlorite group.
