Item Description

A showy group of spherical "water"-green colored Prehnite which comprise distinct individual orthorhombic crystals. Upon close inspection one can see that the crystals are notably lustrous and even translucent on the edges when backlit. It's better quality that many I've seen from the locality (though it was erroneously originally labeled as coming from Khemisset). Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock, valued years ago at $350, and certainly worth more today.
