<dl><dd><dl><dd>Locality:  Poudrette quarry (Demix quarry; Uni-Mix quarry; Desourdy quarry; Carrière Mont Saint-Hilaire), Mont Saint-Hilaire, Rouville RCM, Montérégie, Québec, Canada</dd>
<dd>Xls ~ ⅞ mm. This is a child photo (of a götzenite parent).</dd>
<dd>According to TS (ROM), the common notion that bladed xls in marble xenolith are calcioancylite-(Ce) is unreliable. Most calcioancylite-(Ce) at MSH appears to be the result of alteration. These xls appear to be primary (hence ancylite-(Ce). But not analyzed hence posted as "ancylite group". The whitish "shards" are more gotzenite.</dd>
<dd>Replaced photo Dec 2012. These are smaller xls but the color is probably more accurate - although it depends greatly on the illumination. Under tungsten (as used here), the color apears as pinkish violet to the eye.</dd></dl></dd></dl>
