Prehnite (superb - classic locale) ex Schlichter Coll.

Item Description

An outstanding American prehnite specimen from the famous Roncari Quarry of Connecticut and the Schlichter Collection. The sculptural, undulating CABINET, casted crust is covered with beautiful, translucent, "wet-look", sea foam-green, helmet-shaped crystals. Distinct prehnite crystals from this locality are rare, enhancing the quality of this exceptional American prehnite specimen. Rare in this size. This would easily be a $1000-2000 specimen at major US shows to a knowledgeable East Coast collector. Definitely of the quality we normally prefer to sell in the Gallery, but here is your chance to obtain a super US prehnite in the auctions, from a large collection we just have to move out.
