Hematite ps. after Epidote w/ Quartz (RARE) ex van Tichelen Coll.

Item Description

A spectacular, rare and sculptural large pseudomorph from early 1980s finds at a skarn deposit in Washington State. An impressive and aesthetic large parallel-growth cluster of sharp terminated Epidote crystals has been pseudomorphed by Hematite. The remarkable pseudos were then coated with tiny sparkling Quartz points. Complete all-around and in great shape. The bit of contacting near the base reveals the underlying hematite, adding character and color. These are VERY LARGE pseudos for the find and locale. These are certainly among the most unique and desirable USA pseudomorphs and this is a superb large example. Ex Wouter van Tichelen Pseudomorph Collection. Valued at $2500-3000. One of the largest known survivors, we think, from old finds here
