A beautiful prehnite-epidote specimen with sculptural display from Bendougou village, Kayes Region, Mali. Very dark olive-green epidote crystal forms the base. Epidote is lustrous and shiny. It is decorated with a splendid prehnite ball at the top. The prehnite sphere is well isolated, complete all over, with a light 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 – smaller epidote crystal has contacts. On acrylic base.

Marvelous!
