Prehnite on Epidote

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 hosts a fine, gemmy, water-green color spherical aggregate of Prehnite measuring 2.0 cm across aesthetically sitting atop dark a thick, blocky brownish-green crystal of Epidote. The Prehnite has thousands of micro faces / terminations all over the "ball" and this specimen is gemmy enough to facet a nice gemstone. A very attractive and highly displayable specimen of a species that is often overlooked in the mineral world.
