Item Description
Several acicular, blue-green Diopside crytstals are associated with olive oil-green colored prisms of Epidote and a single hexagonal tabular crystal of colorless/white Apatite on matrix. I have photographed the crystals under the microscope to better illustrate their quality. A good reference piece of this relatively hard to find material from the Italian Alps.
