Item Description
Prehnite specimens from this obscure Moroccan locale date to the 1990s and are seldom on the market today. Sparkling, highly lustrous, pretty mint-green, botryoidal aggregates of foliated prehnite crystals comprise this beautiful specimen. The botryoids look just like flower bulbs with the petals ready to open up in bloom! This is a very fine and aesthetic plate from the Al Ordway Collection # 8105. The mint-green color is MUCH BRIGHTER AND RICHER IN PERSON!!
