Pale pea-green prehnite has pseudomorphed an enormous, thin, platy crystal of calcite (in addition to a couple of attached smaller crystals). The green is more apparent in person - the camera had trouble picking up the color. You can see the sharp hexagonal form in all the crystals. A very unusual pseudomorph from South Africa. Ex. Richard Hauck Collection.
