Item Description

A classic French Alpine specimen of the famous "clamshell" or "helmet"-shaped Prehnites from La Combe de la Selle. The crystals are translucent and sharp with the beautiful murky sea-green internal color that is best associated with this material. The luster is medium and the largest "clamshell" measures 2.2 cm across, which is good for the material. A great piece of this well known material for any Alpine collector or French mineral collector. From the dealer stock of Herb Obodda.
