Description

A nice spray of deep bottle-green crystals of Epidote aesthetically and also contrastful accompanied by lucent to transparent Quartz. The termination of the larger Quartz appears at the first sight imperfect but with closer view and magnification I have doubts. The Epidote is well developed, sharp edged and highly lustrous. This is a good example and comes from the famous find of the mid-1990s.
