Gem Epidote/Clinozoisite ex Obodda

Item Description

Hashupa epidote/clinozoisite specimens compare very favorably and sometimes surpass those from classic Knappenwand. This is an outstanding gem example with superior clarity, rich clove-brown color, high luster and fine tabular form. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only out-sight termination rubbing on the back side. An exceptional gem crystal from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. 29 grams mass. Valued by Herb at $1200, more than five years ago.
