Item Description

Prehnite is found from many world localities in wide variety of style and colors. These beautiful and what will be soon be classic specimens from Mali started coming out in the early 2000s. Various localities in the Kayes Region have produced some of the most attractive, displayable and abundant specimens of Prehnite often associated with Epidote ever found. These pieces often feature fine green color spherical groups in pleasingly aesthetic specimens. This piece is a showy and three-dimensional small cabinet filled with attractive "water green" color, translucent, spherical groups of Prehnite which are sitting on dark greenish-brown, thick prismatic crystals of Epidote on a thin layer of matrix. The Prehnite group at the top of the specimen measures 2.6 cm across. The piece is in good shape, and the only real damage is around the periphery where the piece was removed the pocket wall. Overall it's a very presentable and good quality example of what will be some of the most well-known and iconic Prehnite specimens from any world locality. From the worldwide mineral collection of geologist, Demetrius Pohl.
