Item Description
Several gemmy, richly colored, extra virgin olive oil-green colored prisms of Epidote are sitting atop micro blue-grey Clinochlore on schist matrix. The largest crystals measures 4 mm, and I have photographed the crystals under the microscope to better illustrate their quality. A good reference piece of this hard to find material from the Italian Alps. Despite their size, these are some of the most beautiful and gem quality Epidote crystals from any locality
