Epidote and Sphene

Item Description

First-class combination of Knappenwand-quality Epidote with superb light-cinnamon Sphene. The Epidotes follow the classic en echelon pattern, and they are lustrous and gemmy. The longest is about .8 cm. The Sphenes, which line up along one side of the Epidote stalk, are quite remarkable for the species. In addition to having excellent luster, good translucence, and being up to .7 cm in size, the Sphenes have a attractive, very unusual color. That alone puts the specimen above most similar combinations. Excellent aesthetics.
