Bladed Prehnite Cluster | Morocco

Prehnite Facts

Bladed Prehnite from Morocco is an unusual form of Prehnite displaying more prominent blade-like crystal growth rather than the rounded, globular formations this mineral is best known for. Prehnite is a calcium aluminium silicate mineral that often forms in cavities and veins, sometimes alongside minerals such as quartz, epidote, chlorite, and feldspar. Moroccan Prehnite specimens are especially appealing to collectors because of their soft sea-glass tones, sculptural texture, and distinctive layered crystal habit.
