New New Jersey finds are always exciting, and this discovery last year of a pocket of super-sharp, gorgeous green pseudomorphs of prehnite after glauberite was a real treat! We bought many of the available specimens from this pocket, all that were at the show back then. The beautiful mint-green prehnite (very difficult to photograph and prettier in person) perfectly retains the form of the glauberite crystals! There are even a few calcite rhombs on this one. Though prehnite pseudomorphs have been found in New Jersey before, these new ones are exceptional for their exquisite form and bright color. 4.4 x 2.7 x 2.7cm
