A multitude of small Babingtonite crystals grown on spheroidal Prehnite crystals. They are associated with a group of Quartz crystals with translucent terminations, somewhat corroded, and are arranged between them, partially covering Babingtonite crystals that are sharper, better developed and more lustrous than the previous ones. An interesting combo with good color contrast between white, green and shiny black. This type of specimen appears in cavities in basalt that covers a large part of the provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan, in China.
Babingtonite occurrences, Qiaojia, Zhaotong Prefecture, Yunnan Province China (2005)
