Pale brown crystals of the extremely rare mineral vyuntspakhkite-(Y) from one of the only three localities known worldwide: Evans Lou Mine, Lac Saint Pierre, Québec, Canada. Vyuntspakhkite-(Y) is a silicate of ittrium and ytterbium, and is one of the only 5 mineral species (from more than 5500 species known) that contain the chemical element ytterbium (source MINDAT), so it is a real chemical rarity.

Vésigniéite Locality: Mashamba West Mine, Kolwezi, Western area, Katanga Copper Crescent, Katanga (Shaba), Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaïre) (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 2.7 x 2.5 x 1.6 cm. A very rare barium, copper vanadate, this species is almost impossible to find in large concentrated form as the present specimen. This glistening, sparkling piece is composed of microcrystalline vesignieite on a cast of the same mineral after something else (now rounded). It is a hollowed cast, complete inside and out, covered all over by sparkling sugar-like secondary crystals. Ex. Bill Pinch Collection. Mineral

Wadeite Locality: Eveslogchorr Mt, Khibiny Massif, Murmansk Oblast, Russia Size: 2.7 x 2.7 x 2.2 cm A spectacular, near best-of-species specimen of wadeite consisting of a 1.8cm, tabular, hexagonal prism on an orthoclase-aegirine matrix. If the size and aesthetic positioning on the piece isn't enough, the crystal is a beautiful pale lavender color and resembles an apatite crystal in appearance. Wadeite is a very rare potassium zirconium silicate. Ex. Paul Stahl Collection, and obtained by him in the 1990s from the Fersman Museum deaccessions at a show in Munich. This is a significant specimen for this rare species that is quite aesthetic. The crystal is fully displayed perched atop matrix. Mineral

:Locality: Yellow Lake, Olalla, British Columbia, Canada Size: 3 × 1.6 × 1.4 cm Description: On a crystalline matrix of brewsterite-Sr, an unusual zeolite, we can observe a small wakefieldite-(Ce) well formed crystal. Rich in faces and defined edges. Deep black color, contrasting on the matrix. Wakefieldite-(Ce) is a extremely rare species, it is a cerium vanadate, with few La content. It is very curious the association of a REE vanadate with zeolite species. It comes from the analcime-phonolite flows exposed in road cuts of Highway 3A along the Yellow lake. Mineral
