People underestimate truly fine prehnites, I think. They are thought of as common, perhaps. But well crystallized pieces are not, and this piece is not only well crystallized, but aesthetically arranged in interconnected clusters like bubbles. It is complete all around and pristine. I LOVE it! I do not say that often about the species, either. The sparkling luster, and pleasing pastel color, plus the 3-dimensionality, make this a special piece. It is especially good for this region, though, where although much prehnite is found, most is just secondary to the amethysts and other minerals here. This piece, though, would not be out of place at all alongside fancier and more expensive species such as the Erongo aquamarines and amethysts. Comes with custom display base
