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 fine, well-crystallized, gemmy, green color spherical aggregates of Prehnite associated with dark brownish-green Epidote crystals, which are included inside the Prehnite. The Prehnite has thousands of very sharp micro terminations all over the "balls" and this specimen is gemmy enough to facet some nice gemstones. I think this is a very attractive specimen of a species that is often overlooked by collectors.
