Item Description

These are true classics from this famous mine which is most well known for its impressive Epidote specimens. This miniature sized piece features deep green, sharp, blocky, "chisel"-shaped Epidote crystals with good form and luster. The larges Epidote measures up to 8 mm. I see less and less of this material on the market every year, and specimens like this are certainly hard to find now. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#12378). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
