Item Description
A pristine, doubly terminated, floater epidote crystal from Mali and the Herb Obodda dealer stock. The lustrous, stout, dark olive-green crystal has fibrous-looking prism faces and classic, blunt chisel terminations. Single epidote crystals of this quality are not that common from this locale. The recent 2011 Mineralogical Record article on mineral collecting in Mali highlights the major finds.
