Weloganite in such quality came only in a few small pockets from the Francon Quarry near Montréal, Quebec, Canada, and this is an exceptional matrix specimen with unusually 3-dimensional presentation of a large, vertical situated crystal in matrix that is informative as to the environment it formed in. The display face features a nearly 3 cm crystal standing upright, on a plate covered with numerous crystals lying reclined on the matrix. This is probably one of the richest specimens recovered in overall quality and display aesthetics. It was collected by Donald Doell and sold into the Martin Zinn collection by the 1990s (#6777). The vertical crystal is repaired, but it is a repair so cleanly and carefully done that you would not know if I did not reveal it (to be honest, we only report this as it was on the Zinn label - or we would have had no idea!). Certainly, in addition to its significance for the species, it is a beautiful display-quality weloganite specimen.
