A rare form of window-pane Pectolite crystals with green Prehnite atop more typical radial clusters of Pectolite. This locality is an abandoned gabbro-diabase quarry, now on the site of a nature reserve where collecting is strictly prohibited (Mindat). These rare window-pane crystals reach 1.1cm in size. The rare mineral Julgodite is also present as small black crystals included within the radial Pectolite groups. This is a fabulous and uncommon specimen from an old collection and rare to find now.
