Scolecite and aerinite specimens from this Aragonese area are known worldwide. This specimen shows us groups of acicular crystals forming radiated aggregates in the dolerite and that, when extracted, allow us to see their internal arrangement perfectly. White in color, with iron oxydes patina, and good brilliance. Samples of this quality and size are not common and even less so today.

Size: 10 x 7 x 5.1 cm.
Main crystal: 12 mm. aggreg.

Classic locality

Blocky aerinite criptocristalline with fragments of dolerite included. Aerinite was used as a blue pigment in many Romanesque paintings in the Pyrenees between the 11th and 14th centuries. Its characteristic blue color varies from dark to pale blue. In fact, its name comes from a Greek root aerinos meaning "atmosphere" or "sky", as it was only known by that color.

Size: 6.5 x 5 x 3.7 cm.

These specimens come from the rocky outcrops that are located near the town of Serveto. These are doleritic rocks in which epidote and these prehnites are found in. Currently it is very difficult to get samples. These specimens we offer date from the years 2005-2006. Prehnite appears as globular aggregates of prismatic crystals, sometimes more developed and visible. The light green color is very uniform. Rare locality not well represented in collections.

Size: 8.9 x 6.9 x 3.3 cm.
Found in ±2005-2006.

Scolecite and aerinite specimens from this small Aragonese town are known worldwide. This specimen shows groups of acicular prismatic crystals those form globular aggregates which, when extracted, they allow us to see the radiated growths perfectly. Snowy white color and good luster. Samples of this quality and size are rare and less nowadays. With Sr. Daunis handwritten label.

This specimen shows groups of acicular prismatic crystals those form globular aggregates which, when extracted, they allow us to see the radiated growths perfectly. Snowy white color and good luster. Samples of this quality are rare and less nowaday. Usually radiated aggregates appear very flat filling cavities into the dolerite rock.

Brilliant fribrous aerinite aggregates, with a blue color with greenish tones. Usually aerinite from this classic locality is layering fissures in the dolerite rocky matrix. In this sample, the development of the fibers and its luster make it an excellent representative for the species. From a classic Spanish locality.

Size: 7,4 x 5,4 x 2,5 cm.
Main crystal: 10 mm (fribr.).
