One of our absolute favorites of the lot and perhaps the best of the smaller small cab specimens for its elegant form. This is an aesthetic cluster of very lustrous and translucent, light apple-green prehnite fingers, to 4 cm in length. In fact, the specimen looks like a cityscape. The specimen is undamaged and complete all around. Interestingly, hollow casts of what were once anhydrite are clearly evident from the bottom view. Superb!
