An unusual Prehnite specimen from the metamorphic contact zones in Baluchistan. The piece is filled with dozens, if not hundreds of "water green" color, "fingers" of Prehnite with minor associated Quartz. At first, I thought these might be casts after another species, but upon close inspection at some of the broken crystals on the base of the piece, they are solid Prehnite throughout, and have formed in elongated radiating structures. The piece itself is very attractive and unlike any Prehnite I have seen from any world locality. This piece was mined in 2003.
