Item Description
Mined in 1999, this piece is an excellent quality Prehnite specimen featuring rather lustrous, GEM/gemmy, pale yellow-gold color, orthorhombic crystal groups intergrown, creating a near floater display specimen. There are some minor acicular Epidote / Clinozoisite crystals on the back of the piece for an added touch. Rare to find Prehnite with such immense luster and gemminess on the market from any locality.
