Item Description
Outstanding plate of translucent, apple-green spherical aggregates of Prehnite. Often you see individual spheres or small clusters of them, but this is clearly an impressive specimen of Prehnite from this old New Jersey locale! The entire plate consists of these attractive spheres, the largest of which is 1.8 cm across. The luster is very good, and the piece sparkles in good light. Also, there is good individuality among many of the spheres, adding interest and aesthetics to this dramatic specimen. Valued $900-1250. BETTER IN PERSON!
