Epidote on Quartz (rare locality) (ex Kay Robertson Collection)

Item Description

An odd locality specimen featuring thin, prismatic, dark green colored crystals of Epidote measuring up to 1.9 cm long sitting on a single, gemmy, slightly smoky colored prism of Quartz. The back of the termination of the Quartz crystal has an interrupted growth, but it's not broken, as it's fully crystallized. A cool oddball piece for any fan of California minerals or worldwide Epidotes. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#9283). Kay was a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics. She nearly lived 100 years from April 1920 - March 2020.
