Prehnite and Epidote - Diamonkara, Kayes, Mali - Thumbnail No. 161
A cluster of light green prehnite, forming several well-defined globular aggregates. The rounded and botryoidal shapes are particularly well-developed and give the specimen a very attractive appearance.
The prehnite is translucent, with a beautiful depth of color. Its surface features a finely crystallized texture revealing delicate radial structures that accentuate the rounded shapes of the spheres.
The translucency also allows one to observe, within the prehnite, fine epidote needles, creating a subtle contrast in places with the pale green of the prehnite. This prehnite-epidote association is particularly characteristic of specimens from the Kayes region in Mali.
