Item Description
This famous and historic Asbestos quarry has produced some of the finest quality Grossular specimens from any U.S. locality. This is a piece of the lesser known but still attractive Clinozoisite from Eden Mills. This full sized thumbnail specimen features a few translucent, olive-oil colored prismatic crystals in parallel growth from the famous Eden Mills area of Vermont. Hard to find material from this classic locality. Overall the piece is in good shape, and how often does one find good thumbnail specimens of Clinozoisite (part of the Epidote group) from the United States?
