Item Description
A striking single, translucent, mint-green "finger" pseudomorph of prehnite after anhydrite with waxy luster dominates this showy piece from the famous Trap Rock quarries of Paterson. The broken bases reveals the hollow tubes, where the precipitating fluids flowed and the hollow spaces, where the anhydrite blades were dissolved away. Nifty. Classic material.
