Prehnite from South Africa:


Prehnite, a form of calcium aluminum silicate, has a vitreous mother-of-pearl luster. It occurs in a range of green hues, from yellow-green to apple-green. It is typically translucent, so you'll usually find it cut as cabochons. We've jus received a new stock, with some impressive pieces up to 50 carats.
