I think most were collected in the 1970s by Don Doell and friends, of this style. This particular specimen is a choice miniature with a 1.4 cm crystal perched smack dab in the center. These pseudohexagonal crystals have unique form, and look more like a biological growth of coral, than a crystal per se. Still on the specimen is much of the original pocket coating, which is comprised of several other rare species (primarily dresserite), on calcite and small quartz crystals. The little black microcrystals atop may be donnayite but I am not sure. Specimens, particularly with good yellow color, are uncommon and always were...and always will be. According to MINDAT: The quarry has been inactive since 1981 and will never be active again. It is in the central part of the city of Montr�al (pop. over 2.5 million), in a residential area, and owned by the City. It is used for snow dumping in winter. Actually, the quarry could be listed by its city address: 3701 rue Jarry Est, Montreal.

I think most were collected in the 1970s by Don Doell and friends, of this style. This particular specimen is a choice miniature with a 1.4 cm crystal perched in the center. These pseudohexagonal crystals have unique form, and look more like a biological growth of coral, than a crystal per se. Still on the specimen is much of the original pocket coating, which is comprised of several other rare species (primarily dresserite), on calcite and small quartz crystals. The little black microcrystals atop may be donnayite but I am not sure. The quarry has been inactive since 1981 and will never be active again.\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>\u003C\u002Fdd>\u003C\u002Fdl>",748,[397],{"id":398,"url":399,"label":400,"formula":401,"spacegroup":402,"year":157},14443,"\u002Fcif\u002F14443.cif","Grice 1975","(Sr2.79 Ca.21) Zr Na2 C6 O21 H6","P 1",[404],"IMA1967-042",[406,410,415,419,422,427,430,434,438,441,445],{"lang":407,"names":408},"ca",[409],"weloganita",{"lang":411,"names":412},"de",[413,414],"IMA 1967-042","Weloganit",{"lang":416,"names":417},"es",[418],"Weloganita",{"lang":420,"names":421},"eu",[418],{"lang":423,"names":424},"fr",[425,426],"12374-69-5","Wéloganite",{"lang":428,"names":429},"it",[7],{"lang":431,"names":432},"mk",[433],"Велоганит",{"lang":435,"names":436},"nl",[437],"Weloganiet",{"lang":439,"names":440},"pl",[414],{"lang":442,"names":443},"ta",[404,444],"வெலோகணைட்டு",{"lang":446,"names":447},"zh",[448],"水碳锆锶石","Q1063207",{"history":11,"applications":11}]
