Translucent lemon yellow Prehnite crystals from teh Merelani Tanzanite mines. Prehnite is fairly common worldwide, but good crystals are not. For crystals, the Jeffrey Mine in Canada and those like these from Tanzania are the best. This one is solid tranluscent Prehnite with good crystals, and has a couple smooth indentations from where Tanzanite or Calcite crystals were formerly located.
