This Pectolite specimen comes from the Poudrette Quarry at Mount-Saint-Hilaire and displays a nice terminated crystal.
Pectolite crystals are known for their unique crystal habits, often forming as slender and elongated fibers radiating from a central point. These fibers can be densely packed to form globular masses. Pectolite can be tough and dense but is often delicate and soft to the touch. It can tarnish brown or black upon exposure to air. The crystals can be found in various colors, including white, gray, light yellow, brown, pink, orange, salmon, and light blue. The blue variety, known as Larimar, is highly sought after and is found exclusively in the Dominican Republic. Pectolite is primarily used as a collector's mineral.
Great looking translucent crystal cluster, an excellent specimen from the world renowned location that is MSH. This beautiful crystal would be a great addition to any new or existing collection.
