Item Description
A RARE, very fine, rich and aesthetic combination specimen from the pegmatites in this area. Pretty pastel mint-green, lustrous, translucent prehnite crystals richly cover the sculptural orthoclase and quartz matrix and dramatically frame and partial coat a sharp tabular, 3.5 x 3.3 cm orthoclase crystal. The scattered smoky quartz crystals are a super and rare accent to this exceptional combination. From the El Berrocal Mine, which is not listed on Mindat. CHOICE and rare prehnite combination material from this obscure mine and the Sanabria Collection.
