I visit a pegmatite quarry north of Madawaska for the purposes of collecting Canadian rocks and minerals, in particular feldspar, mica, allenite, zircon and fergusonite. As can be seen, mineral collecting in the north at abandoned mines is both a beautiful and lucrative experience.

Great video Michael. Thanks for the education once again, I've learned a lot from you over the years. Really nice feldspars at that spot. I'll have to try and get there someday.

I did not notice anything like that, but the translucence on the feldspar that I did show was hard to capture properly.

That's a very cool place eh! Maybe next time you'll get your Fergusonite!! They are hard to find! Got a cool plate of Allanite though, nice!!

Nice spot eh? Very hard to find fergusonite there. They are associated with the mica. Thanks for posting

Do you gold pan? Have you seen any super tiny yellow or pink diamonds about the size of a .05 mm for a big one? I keep fiding distinctly diamond shaped minerals with horizontally striated faces ,from a kimberlitic area in the adirondack mountains and just east of them.
