Prehnite (rough and cut set)

Item Description

Some of the best examples of Prehnite gems are those from New South Wales, Australia. The "Rectangle Step" cut gem in this rough and cut set is a classic Australian stone with a lovely yellow-green hue and beautiful "silky" internal appearance. The accompanying specimen in the set is actually from an "Alpine"-type deposit in Pakistan and features vitreous "clam shell"-shaped group of "water green" colored Prehnite that actually look very similar to the classic specimens from La Combe de la Selle, Bourg d'Oisans, Isere, Rhone-Alpes, France. Together they make a great set, even if they're from opposite sides of the world.
