BABINGTONITE2

This is a fantastic example of Babingtonite! The largest crystal is 2 cm across by 1.5 cm tall and it is black and glassy (ideal). There are dozens of others intermixed with Quartz crystals. On the Reverse side (third pic), are bright beautiful lime green Prehnite crystals. It has everything that makes these classic specimens from China. It's in great condition with no visible chips or dings. There is a very hard to see contact spot on one end (it had to be connected somehow). It weighs 232 grams.
