A red-orange prehnite cluster composed of very fine, tapered, pseudo-acicular crystals jus tleaping off a natural pedestal of xonotlite matrix. In person this has a slightly more orange tint. However, I admit it coul dbe mistaken for inesite from Wessels. It IS prehnite, though...that is what is so interesting about this find!
