Item Description

Aesthetic and sculptural 360-degree prehnite and epidote from the well-known 1990s finds from Mali. Artistically intergrown, sharp, lustrous, terminated epidote crystals are fashionably cloaked on one side with bladed botryoids of lustrous, translucent, mint-green prehnite with a light oxide coating. The dominating large epidote is doubly terminated and is 2.8 cm long. A very fine, nearly pristine miniature with only one bruised prehnite on the side of the cluster, which is out-of-sight in the preferred epidote side display view. The prehnites have a nice glow, when back lit. Choice combination material from the Herb Obodda dealer stock and valued by Herb at $250 seven years ago.
