Pectolite gray fibrous radiated - extremely rare - Rauschermühle Quarry

Rare grey pectolite - fibrous-radiating - Rauschermühle Quarry, Niederkirchen, Otterbach-Otterberg, Kaiserslautern, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany Superb specimen of white pectolite, featuring numerous radiating aggregates in fans and bouquets, with a fibrous crystallization forming a particularly aesthetic relief on the matrix. Pectolite is a relatively uncommon sodium-calcium silicate in a collection. German deposits, notably in Rhineland-Palatinate, are known for their white pectolite formations in radiating aggregates. This piece offers a striking contrast between the white pectolite formations and the dark matrix, with a natural and particularly graphic presentation. Mineral: Pectolite Origin: Germany Color: white to grayish-white Crystallization: radiating, fibrous, and fan-shaped aggregates Matrix: dark volcanic rock Dimensions: to be completed Weight: to be completed An interesting piece for a collection devoted to German minerals or rare silicates.
