A sculptural prehnite specimen with an attractive display from Bendougou village, Kayes Region, Mali. Very dark olive green (almost black) epidote crystals at the base are decorated with splendid prehnite balls. The prehnite spheres are well isolated, complete all over, translucent with a velvet green color. The quality of the piece is very good. For references see the 2011 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 41, # 3. In very good condition – some epidote contacts. On acrylic base.

Marvelous!
