A DRAMATIC, LARGE CABINET nest of hollow, pastel-green prehnite rods after laumonite to 8.0 cm from Bombay, India. All of the rods are partially open on a side and the amount of damage is extremely minimal. This is old and choice material from Dr. Gary Hansen and has not been shown since the early 1980s. All of the quarries near Bombay that produced this type of material are now closed, due to population growth. 20.8 x 9.0 x 6.5 cm
