Large toothy crystals of translucent to transparent yellow Prehnite with a thin layer of Graphite on the bottom. Merelani Prehnite is among the best in the world, and specimens from recent finds such as this are among the best ever found at the locality. Solid Prehnite with large, gemmy crystals. This is a superb example with 'wet' luster and great transparency, you can see deep into the crystals. I have alot of these over the years and this one is good, valued at $300.
