Item Description
A jauntily angled cluster of gemmy and lustrous, serrated-edge, olive-brown, epidote crystals is beautifully set on a "cloud" of soft-to-the-touch, felt-like, byssolite fibers on this very aesthetic and fine combination specimen from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. Byssolite is rare from Hachupa and this is an outstanding combination example. Looks like superb, classic, Knappenwand epidote, but is MUCH gemmier! It displays superbly from either side.
