Babingtonite : Ca2(Fe,Mn)FeSi5O14(OH), Prehnite : Ca2Al2Si3O12(OH)

Hongquizhen Quarry, Meigu Co., Liangshan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China

8.1 x 5.9 x 3.7 cm. A floater. This piece is a complete-all-around circlet of botryoidal, green prehnite, very translucent so that it glows when backlit. Encrusted upon this floating cloud of prehnite are discrete, tabular, lustrous, black babingtonite crystals, to 2.5 cm in length. As an accent are some minor colorless quartzes. Lustre on the ...

Babingtonite : Ca2(Fe,Mn)FeSi5O14(OH), Prehnite : Ca2Al2Si3O12(OH)

Hongquizhen Quarry, Meigu Co., Liangshan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China

8.6 x 4.5 x 3.5 cm. A solid, translucent and highly lustrous green prehnite plate is the host for a single starkly displayed crystal of tabular, lustrous black babingtonite, measuring 2.9 cm in length. It is very equant and just sitting there, right in the middle of the translucent prehnite plate. The babingtonite is actually doubly-terminated, ...

Hongquizhen Quarry, Meigu Co., Liangshan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China

4.8 x 4.2 x 2.8 cm. A fine miniature. Botryoidal, green prehnite contrasts nicely with tabular, doubly terminated crystals of lustrous, black babingtonite, to 2.4 cm across. The babingtonite crystals occur in a cluster at the apex of a knoll of prehnite. Lustre on these crystals is high, and the faces are all sharp and unetched or discolored as ...

Hongquizhen Quarry, Meigu Co., Liangshan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China

6.7 x 5.0 x 2.5 cm. A sparkling and unusual druse of millimeter-size tabular, lustrous, black babingtonite completely covers the matrix of botryoidal, green prehnite. One solitary, freestanding babingtonite leaps out of them. For accent there is a large, colorless, doubly terminated quartz crystal measuring 2.5 cm in length and the largest ...

A nearly solid mass of intergrown, tabular, black babingtonite crystals, measuring up to 3.8 cm across is color contrasted against minor, botryoidal, green prehnite and colorless quartz crystals to 1.3 cm in length. The terminations are extremely well developed on this specimen and aesthetic in how they face the viewer. The ...
