Because of the extensive research done on this group of minerals, the Canadian Museum of Nature has amassed a large suite of eudialyte from around the world.
The largest single crystals come from Greenland but some of the most beautiful and most perfectly formed crystals are from Mont Saint-Hilaire. They are quite small, less than one centimetre in diameter, and are best viewed under a microscope.
The finest large masses of eudialyte come from Kipawa in northern Québec. Some of this material has been cut into small but beautiful red gemstones. |
