Locality: Djouga diggings, Bendougou village, Arrondissement of Diakon (Diako), Bafoulabé Cercle, Kayes Region, Mali
 
This is particularly sculptural, with a thick stalactite Prehnite that is formed by several spheres of satiny luster, green Prehnite crystals measuring 7cm across, outstanding!  Clustered atop the Prehnite are some blackish green Epidote which exhibits elongated prismatic crystal shape, how amazing!  We were once the main importer for this find, and my father had kept a number of excellent pieces, this is one perfect example.  Mined in around 2014, the very appealing look, almost perfect condition and three-dimentional sculptural formation are making this a remarkable aesthetic specimen from this find.  Comes with a high quality copper-wired display stand.
