Description

Good example of radial white pectolite aggregates in part with velvety surface. The pectolite fills a vug in a julgoldite/pumpellyite covered calcite vein on volcanic host rock. The Kreimbach-Kaulbach quarry worked in intrusive andesite (so called "kuselite"), sometimes vein-type mineralization occurs. The locality has become well known because of very good greenockite and prehnite finds in the past and is closed now. No more finds are possible.
