Item Description

A showy and colorful plate of translucent, mint-green, botryoidal "fingers" of prehnite. An excellent specimen of prehnite from this old, extinct New Jersey locale. The luster is very good, and the piece sparkles in good light. The two small anhydrite blades in the middle of the piece are a rare and fine accent. The piece is in great shape, with only a modest bit of periphery wear. Older material.
