Spherical cluster of fine, glassy yellow Prehnite on a shard of Tanzanite. There even some Tanzanite shooting through the top of the cluster and a small amount of Graphite on one side. The quality of the prehnite is superb with big crystals extending out of the main cluster, good luster and very translucent. Because the crystals are so translucent, the little flecks of Graphite stand out alot more in the photos - I hardly notice them when holding the specimen in hand, I would say this one is much better in hand than the photos.
