Item Description

A fascinating, highly unusual two-sided specimen from the famous Traprock quarries at Paterson. The aesthetic mounded 'front' is composed of mint-green, bladed prehnite botryoids. The back is startlingly different! Prehnite has casted a striking spray of narrow anhydrite blades. Strange and super nifty material from the Cynthia Payne Collection. A must for the species or locality collector.
