3" Green, Bladed Prehnite Crystals - Morocco

This is a specimen of sea-glass-green, bladed prehnite found in Imilchil, Morocco. The prehnite crystals formed in acicular fans that resemble feathered coral ledges. The alluring, delicate prehnite does not often occur in this form and this is a great piece for every collection.

Prehnite is a calcium aluminum silicate with the chemical composition Ca2Al(AlSi3O10)(OH)2. It generally occurs as volcanic cavity infillings. It often displays colors between yellow and green, but colorless and blue specimens are not unheard of.
