Description
Prehnite from an abandoned Gabbro-Diabase quarry, now part of a nature reserve where collecting is strictly prohibited. Light apple green botryoidal clusters with a faint olive-colored hue abundantly cover matrix. The pristine, translucent clusters show an attractive silky luster and give the specimen a great aesthetic appeal. The radial structure of individual botryoids can be seen on the edges of the specimen. A classic Palatinate locality, abandoned long ago.
