Quartz (Var: Prase) : SiO2, Hedenbergite : CaFe2+[Si2O6]

Serifos Island (Seriphos), Cyclade Islands (Cyclades; Kikladhes; Nomos Kikladhon), Kykládes Prefecture, Aegean Islands (Aiyaíon) Department, Greece

Superb, pristine, translucent, spray of quartz crystals from this classic old locality in Greece. The wonderful green color, which goes throughout the crystal, is caused by hedenbergite inclusions. It is an exceptional piece for the material. 9.8 x 3.1 x 1.9 cm

Quartz (Var: Prase) : SiO2, Hedenbergite : CaFe2+[Si2O6]

Serifos Island (Seriphos), Cyclade Islands (Cyclades; Kikladhes; Nomos Kikladhon), Kykládes Prefecture, Aegean Islands (Aiyaíon) Department, Greece

This is a damned good example of the classic Greek "prase" anyhow, with dramatic crystals to 5.5 cm leaping up from the matrix. Prasem was the name given to these classic quartzes, colored green by rich inclusion of hedenbergite. But beyond the obvious, it has really neat crystallized hematite rosettes in association, which I have never seen ...
