Some of the best new Prehnite specimens to hit the market in a while are those that have been recently found in Mali. These specimens are some of the nicest gem quality Prehnites that I've seen from any locality. This specimen consists of a superb, very large (for this locality), well-crystallized, GEM QUALITY, water-green color spherical aggregate of PREHNITE associated with a few sharp, lustrous, prismatic dark brownish-green crystals of Epidote. The PREHNITE has thousands of very sharp micro terminations all over the "ball" and this specimen is gemmy enough to facet a nice gemstone. I think this is a very attractive and highly displayable specimen of a species that is often overlooked in the mineral world. 5.4 x 4.5 x 3.8cm
