Description

This is an outstanding, wheel-shaped, mint green Prehnite from Djebel Melh in Morocco. The crystals are well developed, sharp edged and almost undamaged. The association with the water clear Rockcrystals makes this fine specimen way more aesthetic. The display side is so far I can see pristine, at one point at the backside, there was the rock.
