Item Description
Prehnite and quartz combination specimens are uncommon from this obscure South African locale. This sculptural, 3-dimensional crust is composed of frosted, translucent, pretty mint-green, bladed prehnite crystal aggregates. Some of the prehnite has a yellow iron oxide tint. The dramatic vug on one end is floored by drusy quartz and has two striking, elongated partitions of drusy quartz. Excellent, impressive and rare combination material. old....early or mid 1900s, I was told
