Hi Aymeric

I'm sorry I don't have any idea what your mineral is, just thought I'd better say "Hi" because I'm the "LOLmaster" you spoke to in the chatroom :)

Glad to see that you got logged back in!


Good luck with the ID and see you in the chatroom.

hehe, then thank you Gordon !


My, no one has an idea about this flat and clear crystal ? :(

Stilbite? Bavenite? Prehnite?

20th Jan 2006 20:48 UTCAnthony Macchiarola

Maybe a tabular aquamarine? Just a guess.

Bavenite

21st Jan 2006 10:03 UTCSteve Sorrell Expert

I agree Marco - bavenite

thanks all for your suggestions. after looking at pics in the base here, I can tell it looks very much a lot (!) like bavenite indeed. Sad I don't know the exact location :( , nothing about bavenite from Afghanistan or Pakistan in the search pages .
