Description

A beautiful specimen featuring a ball-like aggregate of prehnite crystals on the right and many smaller fan shaped crystal groups including one prominent one to the left of centre. The prehnite crystals are a delicate light green colour, sharp and lustrous. In excellent condition, a couple of small incomplete crystals low on the piece and at the periphery. Sits perfectly for display as photographed. A gorgeous prehnite!

Please note: these prehnite photographs are colour-balanced to daylight (sunny day, shade – same as all photos on the website). The hue of prehnite certainly depending on the light source – under a warmer light (for example, a 50W halogen bulb), they are a warmer shade of light green.
