Item Description

You have likely seen this combo out of Mali over the past few years, as they have been coming out. But, this is just a WONDERFUL specimen that really stands out, for several reasons: size, balance of epidotes with prehnite, and completeness - it is all crystal, all the way around. The back is dominated by epidotes, so the preferred display face is the one where you have these wonderful translucent green balls of prehnite framed by the dark green, nearly black epidotes.
