Detail
Description
This specimen features a cluster of sharp white translucent somewhat prismatic prehnite crystals with some small olive green prismatic diopside. Most prehnite is botryoidal or a replacement of earlier formed crystals, and it is also usually green. These well formed colourless crystals are a real rarity from the renowned and long-closed Jeffrey Mine. As well, the specimen comes out of the collection of the legendary Rock Currier (includes the original label).
