Item Description
Several semi lustrous, translucent "water"-green color spherical Prehnite aggregates, which are comprised of small, "fan"-like blades sit on minor matrix. The larest "sphere" measures 2.2 cm across. I have not seen many specimens from this locality recently, but I think its pretty good just by any worldwide standard for Prehnite aside from the locality value. Decent luster compared to most I have seen from Oficarsa. I have not seen many specimens from this locality recently, but I think its pretty good just by any worldwide standard for prehnite aside from the locality value, and certainly larger than most I have handled.
