Many of these species are very rare and found either at Mont Saint-Hilaire only or in just a handful of places worldwide. We will discuss the driving forces behind this astounding mineral diversity and its rarity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMineral Auction. Have fun and bid on minerals to add to your collection.  Here are some of the minerals being auctioned: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nLocation and Directions: Canadian Museum of Nature\, 240 McLeod St.\, Ottawa. Enter through the main entrance and turn left\, go to the end of the hall past the cafeteria.
