Item Description
A sculptural and dramatic, LARGE CABINET, combination of beautiful green prehnite and colorless quartz crystals nicely accented with a dusting of babingtonite crystals and microcrystals on the edges of the specimen. The translucent, bladed, prehnite botryoids are a very pleasing pastel-green and the large babingtonite crystal on one end is 1.1 cm. These remarkable specimens come out of a very small, previously insignificant quarry that, according to MINDAT, is simply worked by the local farmers. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
