Description

A hedgehog of epidote crystals elegantly interconnected and departing from a common base. The crystals are very lustrous and well-developed, with some evident transparency at the tips when they are backlit. A few missing terminations.
The specimen is professionally mounted on top of a plexi base for optimal display. 

This is the best quality of epidote one can obtain from this Greek locality, and it is unquestionally one of my best from there.

From a famous, limited find that took place at the end of 2019. Very scarce material!
