Large translucent Prehnite crystals with strong lemon yellow color from recent finds at Merelani. There are a couple flat surfaces on the sides where the Prehnite grew against and around
some former flat Calcite crystals but it is well crysallized all around. This has alrge, chunky crystals typical of the recent material from Merelani, already some of the world's best Prehnite
before these finds, these new ones are better than previous. The main crystal at the top is 1.3cm with flat, glassy faces and areas of transparency. There are
crystls on the backside that grade into a more greenish color. Valued at $150.
