A beautiful prehnite-epidote specimen with sculptural display from Bendougou village, Kayes Region, Mali. It comes from a German collection with a label. Very dark olive green epidote crystals at the base are decorated with splendid prehnite balls. Epidote is lustrous and shiny. The prehnite spheres are well isolated, complete all over, with a light green color. The quality of the piece is very good. It displays aesthetically all over 360 degree. For references see the 2011 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 41, # 3. In very good condition – some small epidote contacts. On acrylic base.
Marvelous!
