Item Description

This classic specimen is filled with gemmy, richly colored, extra virgin olive oil-green colored prisms of Epidote which are associated with minor Apatite on matrix. The largest crystals measures up to 3 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.
