Description

Beautiful cluster composed of elongated crystals of green epidote. Excellent lustre for those crystals, epidote crystals have some transparent gemmy tips which are highlighted when backlit. Among the best quality available for the locality. As a part of a complex net, the main central crystal displays a complete termination.

A very good and representative small miniature from this classic Greek skarn locality. From a recent find at the end of 2019.
