Large Prehnite plate

Item Description

A dramatic and excellent large prehnite plate from recent Chinese finds. The nubby, crystallized botryoids are a beautiful mint-green, very sparkly and highly translucent. These remarkable specimens come out of a very small, previously insignificant quarry that, according to MINDAT, is simply worked by the local farmers. This large piece displays well from either side, although a modest bit of periphery well is noted along the pointed edge. Very fine and colorful large prehnite. The mint-green color is MUCH brighter and richer in person!! It didn't photograph well, for some reason.
