This is a very rich specimen of the relatively rare hydrated sodium zirconium silicate Elpidite, seen here in a specimen from the prolific Mont Saint - Hilaire locality. They are often seen in single sprays without matrix, but these sprays do occur on matrix and are remarkably well-defined with individual blades up to 2 cm long!
