A very fine and aesthetic, intergrown cluster of three translucent, yellow-green prehnite balls from the traprock Millington Quarry of New Jersey. Interesting accents are the calcite rhomb on top of the large sphere and a spray of glassy laumontite blades on the left ball. Excellent material from this well-known locale. Overall a very unusual form and a superb color for prehnite, classic for old finds here. Ex. Robert Whitmore Collection.
