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 a pair of fine, gemmy, beautiful green color spherical aggregates of Prehnite measuring 2.0 cm across sitting atop dark brownish-green crystals of Epidote. The Prehnite have thousands of very micro terminations all over the "balls" and this specimen is gemmy enough to facet a pair of nice gemstones. A very attractive and highly displayable specimen of a species that is often overlooked in the mineral world.
