***Bringing you the very finest minerals ebay has to offer!!***


Prehnite

Arratille, Hautes-Pyrénées, Midi-Pyrénées, France

6.3cm x 4.42cm x 2.45cm

Ex. John S. Albanese

Ex. Hauck Collection


Description/Interesting Notes:

A terrific old time example of prehnite from this seldom referenced French locality!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of lustrous, translucent, blade-like crystals of prehnite on both sides of a quartz matrix!!! The prehnite crystals have a slightly greenish color in areas, however it appears to be the result of minute chlorite inclusions!!! Upon close examination one can find compressed groups of tiny hair-like crystals of byssolite in between some of the crystals as well!!! This specimen retains an old, 1940's era John Albanese label, as well as a Hauck collection label!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
