Description

This sharp, fine, older epidote crystal is from a lesser-known epidote locality in Baja California, south of the resort town of Ensenada. The prism faces are highly lustrous, as is the termination. The crystal is actually slightly translucent - you can see flashes of green where light penetrates the lustrous faces. One side of the prism show hoppered growth and is not as well formed as the other faces.

Acquired from the Charles J Hansen collection
