Technically a small cabinet size, this is to my mind a large miniature, and in fact the best of that size here. Rising majestically, is a super lustrous, translucent apple-green finger of prehnite measuring 4.4 cm in length, which is clearly is the highlight of this specimen. The specimen is pristine save for very minor contact at the base periphery only. The bottom face reveals hollow casts of what were once anhydrite. It is literally good from any side, 360 degrees all around. A real stunner!
