Epidote & Prehnite

Bendoukou,

Sandare District,

Kayes Region, Mali

All of the specimens on this page are from a recent find.    They're from a fairly remote region, so the specimens were hauled out (via VERY crude methods!), shipped to the US, then were cleaned to as you see them here.    I have heard that some folks are oiling these to make them look a bit more lustrous.   That's not the case with mine.   These are totally natural, so they won't fade or dull over time the way those that have been oiled will.

Anyway, the epidotes are good sized, and almost all are double terminated.    I've made note of the ones that have only single terminations.   I think the epidotes with prehnite are very unique.   They're combos of high quality of these two minerals together that I hadn't seen until I got these.
