Large Prehnite w/ Epidote & Stilbite (rare combo)

Item Description

An impressive and rare large combination specimen from recent finds in Mali. Sharp, lustrus, olive-green, epidote crystals to 3.3 cm (doubly terminated) are aesthetically scattered on the dramatic curved vug covered with beautiful, apple-green, bladed, prehnite botryoids. The prehnite GLOWS with rich geen color, when backlit (very hard to photograph). The matrix is solid, massive prehnite! The back holds a major surprise, as it is festooned with pearlescent, ivory-colored stilbite blades. There are two stilbites attached to epidotes on the front. The epidote cluster on the lower right has broken tips from contacting and a central epidote crystal is lightly bruised from contacting. This is an important large combination specimen, as stilbite is RARE from any Mali locale. 4.2 pounds or 1.9 kilos. Value???
