Description from the seller

Rare grey pectolite - fibrous-radiating - Rauschermühle Quarry, Niederkirchen, Otterbach-Otterberg, Kaiserslautern, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

Superb specimen of white pectolite, featuring numerous radiating aggregates in fans and bouquets, with a fibrous crystallization forming a particularly aesthetic relief on the matrix.

Pectolite is a relatively uncommon sodium-calcium silicate in a collection. German deposits, notably in Rhineland-Palatinate, are known for their white pectolite formations in radiating aggregates.

This piece offers a striking contrast between the white pectolite formations and the dark matrix, with a natural and particularly graphic presentation.

Mineral: Pectolite
Origin: Germany
Color: white to grayish-white
Crystallization: radiating, fibrous, and fan-shaped aggregates
Matrix: dark volcanic rock

Dimensions: to be completed
Weight: to be completed

An interesting piece for a collection devoted to German minerals or rare silicates.

Careful and secure shipping.
