Item Description
Hedenbergite is extremely rare from Pakistan, but this fine cluster stacks up nicely against most specimens that I have seen from anywhere. The deep green, tabular crystals have excellent luster, and they form intersecting, en echelon strings that for all the world remind me of Knappenwand Epidotes on steroids. The largest of the Hedenbergites is about 1.7 cm. This small cab may not be glamourous, but for what it is it sure is good.
