Aspects of prehnite:

This is certainly one of the most interesting prehnites offered by Terra Minéraux from a mineralogical perspective! Discover our beautiful prehnite from Boulemane, the highest city in Morocco. Its dark green top is formed by nearly perfect orthorhombic crystals, including a group of crystals remarkably resembling a bow tie. The back of the stone, on the other hand, is a lighter, clear green, allowing light to pass through with backlighting. The crystals on the underside are also well-formed but smaller. A beautiful piece to add to your collection, especially if you don't yet own a prehnite.

Note: Great care has been taken to best respect the colors of the minerals offered to you. Photos are taken in the best conditions, and slightly retouched to be as close as possible to the original stone. However, there may be slight contrasts due to different screens used and their brightness.
