The Kandivali Quarry in Mumbai, India, is a famous, now-closed mineral site known for green prehnite, quartz, and rare secondary hydrothermal crystals.
Mineral Features

  • Prehnite: Forms light sea-green to yellow-green botryoidal (globular) balls or sharp pseudomorphs replacing original laumontite crystals.
  • Quartz: Occurs alongside prehnite in basalt cavities.
  • Associated Minerals: Includes rare black babingtonite, gyrolite, apophyllite, and calcite.

Location Status

  • Closed: The quarry is permanently closed due to urban growth and expanding population in Mumbai.
  • Geology: Located in the Deccan Traps, a massive basalt region.
  • Availability: Specimens from this specific locality are now only available through old mineral collections or specialized dealers.
