Natural Prehnite

Prehnite is an orthorhombic mineral which is rarely found as distinct crystals. Found in association with volcanic rocks, it usually forms in aggregates with botryoidal habit. Prehnite is typically pale green to yellowish green with a white streak. It is named after a Dutchman, Colonel H. von Prehn, who discovered the mineral at the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, and brought the first specimens to Europe.
