Locale: Imilchil, Midelt Province, Drâa-Tafilalet Region, Morocco

Approx dimensions: 2.5 x 1.5 x 1.25"

Approx weight: 115g


After some sleuthing on Mindat I was intrigued to discover the spherical formation on this specimen is prehnite. I actually didn't find one matching this specimen anywhere; all examples were translucent and not opaque. I suspect it could be a feldspar pseudomorph. Prehnite typically does not fluoresce—but this one does.

Prehnite and epidote commonly grow together because they have similar chemical requirements (both need calcium and aluminium, and often grow in hydrothermal environments). This is far from the version that comes to mind for most people. Prehnite is most frequently found as a translucent light green with a botryoidal habit, pierced by or growing alongside dark green crystals of epidote (like this). Instead this prehnite is an opaque sand-colored sphere formed of radiating crystals terminating in thin, rectangular ends. The sphere is fairly complete with one cleanly broken side revealing the radial growth pattern.

Epidote grows long slender prismatic crystals with saturated olive green color, though it can be more yellow, brown, or even so saturated it appears black. Radial growth forms are typical of the Imilchil region in Morocco. It’s common to find fans and bow-ties of epidote mixed in with individual crystals. This piece has several good bow-ties around the sphere. Epidote has a good luster which is apparent with the larger crystals on the specimen.

UV reactivity: the epidote is non-reactive but the prehnite sphere glows a light golden yellow in 365nm UV light.

Smells Incredible and Actually Works!
Style: Palo Santo, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
’ve tried a lot of men’s deodorants over the years, but this one from Cremo — Palo Santo Antiperspirant & Deodorant — really stands out. The scent is next-level: smooth, woodsy, and just a little bit exotic without being overpowering. It smells high-end, almost like a cologne you’d pay good money for. Performance-wise, it absolutely delivers. I stay dry and fresh all day, even through long work hours and workouts. The 48-hour protection claim actually holds up — I’ve gone a full day and into the next morning without any trace of odor or stickiness. It also goes on smoothly, doesn’t leave white marks on dark shirts, and doesn’t have that waxy or powdery feel some antiperspirants do. The packaging feels premium too, which fits the Cremo brand. Bottom line: If you want a deodorant that smells incredible and actually performs like it says it will, this one’s worth every penny. Palo Santo is now my go-to scent — masculine, clean, and unique.

Pleasant scent, decent protection, fades by evening
Style: Vintage Suede, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The Vintage Suede scent is pleasant and professional - not overpowering. Provides decent odor protection through most of the workday, though I've noticed it starts to fade after about 6-7 hours during long shifts at the dealership. The 48-hour claim seems optimistic. Goes on smooth without leaving white residue on dark shirts, which is appreciated. For the price point, it's a solid everyday deodorant. Works well enough for office environment but might need reapplication for very active days or hot weather. Good value but not exceptional performance.

Better cologne type deodorant that's not as EXTREME as dramatic competitors.
Style: Palo Santo, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
So far so good with this deodorant regarding how well it performs through a full day of light activity (morning yoga, playing with the dog, carrying kids around, etc.). The scent is light and I notice it periodically throughout the day, but it's light enough to not be overwhelming or smell like a strong cologne. The fragrance is very "Man Fireplace Candle" type scent, but in a good way that is perfect for its purpose. My biggest complaint is the deodorant is very malleable, almost putty-like, so it tends to get squished out the sides of the lid when open/closed daily, therefore making it messy. This is relatively avoidable by just winding down the wheel each time, but is "annoying" as opposed to just using and capping. It glides on smoothly and feels good on skin or "hairy pits". A little pricier, but it's worth it in my opinion. Will be purchasing again.

Officially my favorite and exclusive deodorant.
Style: Vintage Suede, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is the most amazing smelling deodorant I've ever used, and unique, too. Very smooth just like their shaving cream, and I haven't had any irritation. I've been complimented by a few people now on how good I smell.

Smells great. Doesn't mess with my pits.
Style: Casked Vanilla, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I ordered the casked vanilla scent. My lady loves it on me. The added benefit I wasn't expecting was no more sour pit smell by the end of the day that has plagued me using other brands. I'll keep ordering this stuff for now.
