• Description: Mineralogy of the new find of apophyllite-prehnite vein from Ca-skarn in quarry at Bludov near Šumperk was studied. Up-to 5 cm thick vein is composed of dominant green prehnite and younger white apophyllite, both in coarsegrained aggregates. Accessory minerals are the oldest hydrothermal epidote, young calcite and relicts of grossular and pyroxene from host skarn.The studied apophyllite-prehnite vein of the "Alpine type" crystallized from low-temperature hydrothermal solutions of local origin.
