Item Description

Lane's Quarry is arguably the most famous locality for Babingtonite in the United States, and it's also a source for some fine quality crystallized Prehnites. This piece features translucent, good green color aggregates of Prehnite which have formed "casts" or perimorphs after tabular prismatic, striated Anhydrite, which has left a hollow cavity inside. Good quality, and attractive when backlit.
