Pectolite - prismatic crystals in radiating clusters
Jeffrey Mine, Asbestos (now Val-des-Sources, Estrie,
Quebec, Canada
8 x 5.7 x 3.2 CM (cabinet)
price: $850
Winter 2016-17
Pectolite is not usually an attractive mineral and good prismatic crystals are quite rare. This is a strong exception to that rule. More than 25 years ago a series of pockets at the Jeffrey Mine produced some of the most perfect and esthetic specimens of this usually drab mineral. Several crystals are transparent and all others are translucent. A perfect undamaged floater there is no matrix or point of attachment. Outstanding for the specie, choice, very large and rarely available now.
