OKE-372 Prehnite Jeffrey Mine, Asbestos, Quebec, Canada. Ex. Steve Chamberlain Collection. Perhaps one of the best Jeffrey Mine TN specimen I have seen! This cluster is a complete, damage free floater. Tiny sprays of natriolite as an accessory can be seen between these fine, translucent, light green crystals of prehnite. Every crystal is double terminated and in spectacular form. Nice prehnites from this location are not commonplace. 2.9 x 2.6 x 2.1 cm. Another competition grade piece. I’d expect this specimen to be triple this price with most other dealers. 195$
