Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans, Grenoble, Isere, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France
description:
Classic antique French specimen with very pale greenish semi lustrous translucent crystal groupings of prehnite measuring to 2.3 cm in size on matrix with lustrous mostly gemmy crystals of axinite measuring to 1.7 cm in size. I think in good condition. The specimen comes with an antique label that dates this piece to the very early 20th century, if not the 19th century. This is shown at the end of the video. Choice cabinet sized French classic.
