"this is really quite good for a New Jersey prehnite! Pale bubbly botryoidal crystallized green prehnite is completely covering the top of a 5.2 x 4.5 x 2.5 cm matrix. This is an exceptionally clean of damage specimen, and the prehnite crystals are slightly translucent. There is a good "relief" to the specimen; I think that this is a good one for the locality. Prehnite was named after its discoverer; Colonel Hendrik von Prehn and is an attractive collection mineral that is occassionally used for ornamental stone purposes. Its color is usually a pleasant green and is at times quite unique to prehnite. Typical prehnite forms rather thick crusts with a rough or crystaline texture."
