Prehnite (gemmy yellow crystals)

Item Description

It is easy to get jaded about Prehnite with so much available from various prolific localities, but this is a really interesting locality piece, in that it is from the Merelani Mine in Tanzania, known for its Tsavorites and Tanzanites, but NOT for Prehnites. This is a beautiful crystallized group of rather GEMMY yellow-green Prehnite, with a nice sparkle to it sitting on minor matrix. Gem quality yellow Prehnite is rare around the world, and these Tanzanian pieces should be appreciated for their visceral beauty and obscurity on the market.
