Prehnite finger cast after Anhydrite

Prehnite finger cast after AnhydriteAn aesthetic miniature display specimen of this contemporary classic material featuring a predominant, single finger shaped cast of Prehnite replacing Anhydrite that is flaring out of the center of the specimen. The main finger is accompanied by a few small secondary fingers. Unfortunately, much of the specimen has a coating of a secondary clay mineral, so the luster is not top quality. The color is still good, and the piece displays very well without

color and the fact that they just aren't seen in today's market

To the credit of Alfredo Petrov and Dr

like something out of a medieval battleground

Specimen # BOL711B181

Very showy and desirable for the species

I will say that this is certainly one of the more lustrous crystal groups from this find

The color is a strong reddish-pink

typically Petalite occurs in colorless crystals

A very attractive “locality” specimen

Some of these "fingers" are broken and show a radial growth pattern in the center

Along with the translucency and the fact that it’s on matrix

The faces are lustrous and well-formed and the piece glows with a lively yellow-green hue when backlit
