Item Description

A rarely seen specimen of Axinite with Epidote from Pampa Blanca. I haven't seen many of these over the years, but they're fun to view with a loupe or under the microscope. The Axinite have a silvery-clove color, and the Epidotes have a bright pistachio green hue. The largest Axinite crystal measures 8 mm, and the largest Epidote measures 7 mm. From the collection of Harold Urish.
