Piemontite and Thulite (classic locale) ex Mullane Coll.

Item Description

Piedmontite is an old synonym for piemontite and thulite is an uncommon variety of pink, manganian zoisite. Piemontite is the deep red, manganese-bearing variety of epidote. This showy and rich specimen from the famous Harding Pegmatite of New Mexico features gemmy, dark cherry-red piemontite lathes in a layered matrix of pastel-pink thulite, quartz and piemontite crystals. Both of these species are relatively uncommon from this famous locale. Classic, rare, old-time material from the Mullane Collection and comes with a Burminco label with a March, 1952 date on it!
