Wt: 15.9 g w/ specimen box
Mount Saint Hilaire, Quebec, Canada
This thumbnail specimen consists of 2 tabular Narsarsukite crystals that are embedded in an agpaitic pegmatite host rock. The larger (and more visible) of these crystals has dimensions of 0.5 x 0.4 x 0.1" (1.2 x 1.1 x 0.2 cm) and is damaged and not quite complete. The smaller one, being better protected, is intact and in excellent condition. Both have good tetragonal bladed form, a dull, olive-green color and a pearly luster- the larger crystal might be aggregated with one or two other parallel crystals. They are both essentially opaque. The specimen is affixed inside a plastic specimen box with a removable putty.

Two small tabular Narsarsukite crystals are embedded in the pegmatite host of this thumbnail specimen. Each measures approximately 0.2 x 0.2 x 0.1" (5 x 5 x 1 mm) and is in very good condition- one shows light damage, but this damage does not appear to be fresh. Their tetragonal form is excellent, and both have a rather deep, olive-green coloration and a pearly luster. The piece is affixed inside a plastic specimen box with a removable putty.

This is a specimen of narsarsukite, as a scattering of dull pale brown cubes in a gray host rock. The narsarsukite is weathered, less so on one side where the crystals are sharper. There are many cube shaped impressions in the host rock - they reveal the original shape of the narsarsukite crystals.
