Description

Yes, this is Greek epidote! It was discovered about 15 years ago by a German collector in the locality. The piece shows well-formed, thick, lustrous crystals epidote, all terminated with a dark green color. It is compete all around and I love the formation, that's why it was in my collection for so many years. Even the base is recrystallized. It is a remarkable Greek epidote specimen, pretty and in excellent condition!
