This is an excellent, rather elegant cluster of very lustrous and translucent, light apple-green, prehnite fingers, to 4.5 cm in length. The bottom of the specimen has numerous hollow casts after anhydrite, including one that transverses the length of the largest prehnite finger. The two larger fingers in the middle cross dramatically and splay out like a "V" sign. Nice from either side, this is to my eye one of the better small cab specimens without really breaking the bank
