Item Description

A showy and classic two-sided prehnite rib from this classic and extinct New Jersey Trap Rock Quarry. Pretty mint-green spherical aggregates of lustrous and translucent prehnite blades cover the front and the outer edge of the back. The tuft of stilbites blades on the front and the hollow on the back filled with darker green prehnites adds pizzazz. The front is pristine and the contact on the back has very little actual damage. Excellent prehnite. Ex Cynthia Payne Collection.
