Item Description

Some of the best new Prehnite specimens to hit the market in a while are those that have been recently found in Mali. These specimens are some of the nicest gem quality Prehnites that I've seen from any locality. This specimen consists of several, fine, gemmy, rich green color spherical aggregates of Prehnite with several dark brownish-green crystals of Epidote on the underside of the piece. The Prehnites have thousands of very micro terminations all over the "balls" and this specimen is gemmy enough to facet several very nice gemstones. A very attractive and highly displayable specimen of a species that is often overlooked in the mineral world.
