Item Description

Several attractive groups of translucent "water"-green color spherical Prehnite aggregates, which comprise small, "fan"-like blades aesthetically sitting on matrix. Very thin dark green prisms of Diopside can be seen at the base. I have not seen many specimens from this locality recently, but I think its pretty good by any worldwide standard for Prehnite along with the locality value. The largest Prehnite aggregate measures 2.8 cm across, and is undamaged, though a few of ther other "balls" are contacted.
