Wardite is a rare phosphate. This wardite crystal is from a small pocket found about 2003-4, by a French-Canadian collector at the time. This is a huge crystal for the species, really quite unprecedented by most standards, except for a few aberrant examples from Brazil in days long past. For Canada, it is about 5 times the size of most so-called large wardites I have seen, and about 10 times the size of a typical wardite crystal you might see on the market. For the species, this is an important piece.
