Hitherto the mineral prehnite has been recorded from one locality only in Cornwall, namely, in the cliffs between Wheal Cock and the Crowns Rock, Botallack, St. Just. It occurs there as pale-green, globular aggregates composed of indistinct, curved crystals, and forms veins traversing a narrow strip of greeustone which has intruded itself through the granite mass; associated minerals are stilbite and axinite.
In the summer of 1910 the writer collected several crystallized specimens of this mineral at Pare Bean Cove, Mullion, the locality from which Dr. J.S. Flett and Mr. W. F. P. McLintock obtained the fine crystallized specimens of datolite, recently described by the latter. The prehnite occurs here in two distinct and somewhat unusual types of crystals—tabular and prismatic.
