Garnet (var. andradite) on epidote - Kayes region, Mali
A rare find! Bouquet of epidote accompanied by small garnets...
A generous cluster of light green prehnite consisting of numerous spheres of varying sizes, with shiny, slightly translucent surfaces. The different layers of spheres give the cluster significant depth and a particularly rich texture. Fine epidote needles are visible as inclusions in certain areas of the prehnite, adding further interest to the crystallization. Measuring nearly 6.5 cm wide, this specimen makes a striking display piece.
6.4 × 6 × 5.7 cm.
Highlights of this specimen:
- Numerous light green prehnite spheres of varying sizes, giving the specimen a lot of depth

Points to note:
A few incomplete spheres, revealing the fibrous, radiating internal structure of the prehnite.
