Prehnite with Calcite

Unknown Owner
A well-developed ball of crystalline light mint-green Prehnite measuring to 3.6 cm displays with translucent lighter green clamshell-like Prehnite crystals and white pyramidal crystals of Calcite. From the Goboboseb Mountains in the Brandberg Region of Namibia, this is a fine aesthetic specimen of Prehnite and excellent for the locality. The smaller Prehnite crystals have a beautiful glassy lustre with a gemmy appearance while the large sphere is a deep peppermint green with partial-translucency due to its size. A gorgeous Prehnite with Calcite from Goboboseb.
