An exceedingly well-developed, translucent, and deeply colored 7.5 mm weloganite crystal of small size but very high quality for the species. This is an extremely rare mineral and good crystals are found only at this locality, near Mont St Hilaire in Quebec (though often they are mislabeled as coming from MSH itself)
