Prehnite with Epidote

Item Description

Some of the best Prehnite specimens to hit the market in a while are those that have been found in Mali in the last decade or so. These specimens are some of the nicest gem quality Prehnites that I've seen from any locality. This specimen consists of fine, gemmy, green color spherical aggregates of Prehnite associated with dark brownish-green Epidote. The Prehnite has thousands of very sharp micro terminations all over the "balls" and this specimen is gemmy enough to facet some nice gemstones. The largest Prehnite "ball" measures 1.6 cm across. I think this is a very attractive specimen of a species that is often overlooked by collectors. It's not easy to get good thumbnails of this material either.
