A sculptural prehnite-epidote specimen with a three dimensional display from Bendougou village, Kayes Region, Mali. Very dark olive green epidote crystals are decorated with splendid prehnite balls. Epidote crystals are prismatic, waxy-lustrous and doubly terminated. 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 base part contacts. On acrylic base.
Fantastic!
