A single, very lustrous, translucent, light apple-green prehnite finger towers majestically above smaller fingers of prehnite. Associated with the prehnite are lustrous and translucent, colorless crystals of calcite, to 8 mm in length. It appears that the specimen is a complete floater with no visible points of attachment as the bottom shows minute crystallization as well. A fine, very dramatic piece with, surprisingly, no repairs.
