Cassiar & Clinton Creek - Asbestos museum exhibit

Here is a message I received via the www.cassiar.ca website.

If you can contribute to the project contact Pierre Hudon via his email address below.

Could you please post this message on your web site: I am presently preparing a museum exhibit for 2012 on Canadian asbestos mines and the beautiful minerals we found associated with asbestos in those mines. The project is under the direction of the Musée minéralogique et minier of Thetford-Mines in Quebec and the exhibit will travel through Canada during the next 8 years. A section in the exhibit is evidently devoted to Cassiar and Clinton Creek. Unfortunately, we do not have anything to show yet from these localities, which are known for their asbestos (obviously), gold (the second largest nugget found in Canada in 1877), smoked quartz, famous jade, blue topaz (the only locality in Canada), nordenskioldine, malayaite, danburite, tourmaline, wolframite, cassiterite, chalcedony, molybdenite, pale blue beryl, orange-brown grossular, blue-green fluorine, red-brown andradite, wollastonite, green diopside, etc. If you know any person that is willing to sell, loan or donate some specimens, please contact me. The Thetford-Mines museum can issue tax receipts for any donation. We are also looking for pictures depicting the city, mines and operations of Cassiar and Clinton Creek. We want if possible the originals (they will be returned to the owner) for high-resolution scans (the pictures might be printed on large walls). Please contact Pierre Hudon at pierre.hudon@mcgill.ca 3610 University Street Montreal, Quebec

Thank you.
