Prehnite

Specimen # 102556
Mineral: Prehnite
Location: Taza, Fès-Meknès, Morocco
Size: 8.6 x 7.0 x 4.0 cm

Description

A spectacular light green prehnite with individual well-defined crystals radiating out from a central point. The crystals are sharp, lustrous and have exceptional separation from one another. In excellent condition – other than at the outer periphery where this was attached, there is only one incomplete crystal low on the specimen and in a recess so not obvious as displayed. Stands perfectly as photographed – a fantastic display specimen of prehnite.

Please note: these prehnite photographs are colour-balanced to daylight (sunny day, shade – same as all photos on the website). The hue of prehnite certainly depending on the light source – under a warmer light (for example, a 50W halogen bulb), they are a warmer shade of light green.
