MONT-ST-HILAIRE IS A MONTEREGIAN HILL FOUND IN SOUTHERN QUEBEC, CANADA, MORE PRECISELY IN THE SAINT LAWRENCE LOWLANDS. THERE ARE 10 OF THEM, INCLUDING MOUNT ROYAL IN MONTREAL . THEY ARE MONADNOCKS, THAT IS ANCIENT GIANT MAGMA CHAMBERS . OKA AND FRANCON QUARRY IN MONTREAL ARE FAMOUS FOR THEIR RARE MINERALS, BUT MOST FAMOUS OF ALL IS MONT-ST-HILAIRE, WHERE CLOSE TO 400 MINERALS ARE FOUND INCLUDING MORE THAN 60 ONLY HERE IN THE WHOLE WORLD ! MOST FAMOUS ARE SERANDITE AND CARLETONITE, BUT THERE ARE SO MANY MORE, AND THE CRYSTALLISATIONS ARE VERY REMARKABLE. A LARGE QUARRY WAS CUT INTO THE SIDE OF THIS 400M MOUNTAIN THAT ALSO MEASURES 4 KM IN DIAMETER. IT WAS ORIGINALLY FOR THE SYENITE, A ROCK MUCH TOUGHER THAN GRANITE, THAT IS USED IN SPECIAL CONCRETES. A LITTLE KNOWN STORY IS THAT IT WAS REQUIRED IN THE 50'S FOR THE US ARMY TO BUILD THE SPECIAL RUNWAYS REQUIRED FOR THE SR-71 PROJECT, WHICH STAYED SECRET FOR SO LONG. THE REFUELLERS HAD TO LAND ON BETTER RUNWAYS THAN HAD EVER BEEN BUILT, AND SYENITE HAD TO BE THE ROCK IN THE CONCRETE. SO THAT EXPLAINS WHY THIS QUARRY WAS ALLOWED IN GREAT HASTE. NOW THEY ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO GO DOWN, NOT ALLOWED TO EXPAND, AND THEREFORE VERY FEW MINERALS HAVE COME OUT IN RECENT YEARS. ADDED TO THAT IS THE BAN ON COLLECTING AND THE FACT THE QUARRY IS OPERATING 7 DAYS A WEEK . THEREFORE THESE MINERALS ARE CONSTANTLY GAINING IN VALUE .
