Item Description

Alpine localities are well known for producing superb Epidote specimens, but there are a few "Alpine-type" localities in the Himalayas of Pakistan that produce some great specimens in their own right. This specimen hosts sharp, gemmy, prismatic, greenish-golden color Epidote with beautiful pale bluish-green color "threads" of "Byssolite". The "Byssolite" crystals are very reminiscent of cotton candy. A great specimen of this contemporary classic material. Ex Herb Obodda inventory, priced at $650.
