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