Specimen # 102562
Mineral: Prehnite
Location: Taza, Fès-Meknès, Morocco
Size: 6.4 x 4.3 x 3.9 cm

Description

This is a wonderful combination of light green prehnite crystals and quartz crystals that have a light red tint (due to hematite). The prehnite crystals are in radiating groups, and the top of the piece covered by prehnite crystal terminations. The quartz crystals are sharp and lustrous as well. In excellent condition, one incomplete crystal at the far left. Stands perfectly for display as photographed – the second photo is from slightly above. A great colourful specimen from this find.

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.
