3.4" Botryoidal Prehnite Crystal Cluster - Connecticut
This is a really cool, green prehnite specimen from the O and G Southbury quarry in Connecticut. Aggregates of botryoidal prehnite crystals can be found along the entirety of what could be considered the top of the specimen. The base has been cut, allowing for aesthetic presentation of the crystals without the need for a display stand.
About Prehnite
Prehnite is a translucent to transparent mineral typically ranging in color from pale green to yellow-green, though it can also appear white, gray, or colorless. It often forms in botryoidal, globular, or crystalline habits and has a vitreous to pearly luster. Prehnite is a calcium aluminum silicate hydroxide and is commonly associated with zeolites in the cavities of volcanic rocks. It has a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5 and is found in locations worldwide, including South Africa, Australia, China, and the United States.
