Item Description
Clinozoisite forms an isomorphic series with Epidote and Zoisite, and is a relatively rare gem in the world. This stone has a distinct color for Clinozoisite with a blending of gold and a green color, but truly does not show any pleochroism like Epidote, which is one of the better ways to tell that it is truly Clinozoisite. This is actually well documented material, and probably some of the best gem grade Clinozoisite to hit the market in recent years. The stone is only very very very slightly included with a "Rectangle" cut. Well worth the $100 start bid.
