Item Description
Epidote is one of the most well known of all the Alpine cleft species in the world, and some of the finest epidote specimens in the world have been coming out of Pakistan in recent years. These specimens are seemingly identical to the classic Alpine specimens from Europe, and in certain instances, have surpassed the European specimens for quality and gemminess. This cluster of sharp crystals features water-clear, gem, olive-green crystals in an aesthetic cluster. Complete all-around and pristine. Very highly representative of the species and locale. AND...a superb, competition level large thumbnail specimen for a species in which thumbnails are generally just small and mediocre. valued $500
