Description

A small but very fine prehnite specimen on matrix from the Untersulzbachtal, showing pale green prehnite crystals with a subtle luster set on a light-colored Alpine matrix. While prehnite itself is a well-known species, specimens from this locality are distinctly uncommon, making this piece particularly noteworthy in a regional context. The crystals are neatly developed and well positioned, resulting in a clean and balanced presentation that is of special interest to collectors focusing on Austrian and Alpine localities.
