Prehnite, Quartz

Specimen # 102568
Mineral: Prehnite
Location: Taza, Fès-Meknès, Morocco
Size: 7.6 x 4.4 x 2.7 cm

Description

This specimen features sharp, lustrous subparallel quartz crystals and fans of light green prehnite. The prehnite crystals are also sharp and lustrous, with great terminations. In excellent condition – no damage to the prehnite and minor incomplete quartz. A pretty combination of these two minerals!

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.
