Item Description

Several gemmy, richly colored, extra virgin olive oil-green colored prisms of Epidote are associated with soft blue-green Diopside on matrix. The largest Epidote crystal measures up to 7 mm, and we have photographed the crystals with a Canon MP-E 65 mm lens to better illustrate their quality. A good reference piece of this hard to find material from the Italian Alps.
