Description

This large cabinet specimen is comprised almost entirely of intergrown fans of light green prehnite crystals. The crystals are beautiful, sharp, and lustrous wih a very delicate colour. The largest fans are thick and wheel-like, while some of the small ones ar very slender.

It had been lifted off the matrix and is therefore hollow underneath/behind. (It was too fragile to be preserved without stabilization, so I’ve done that – not visible from any display angle, you need to examine the underside to see it). There is a thin layer of quartz crystals along one edge. In excellent condition, a few small incomplete crystals, but minor relative to the piece. This piece is gorgeous from both display angles – it sits naturally as photographed in the first photo and needs support to stand vertically. A beauty with nice form and lots of sparkle!

Please note: these prehnite photographs are colour-balanced to daylight (sunny day, shade – same as all photos on the website). The hue of prehnite certainly depending on the light source – under a warmer light (for example, a 50W halogen bulb), they are a warmer shade of light green.
