Quartz (Japan-law Twin) with Epidote

Item Description

The Green Monster Mountain locality in Alaska is known for producing some superb Epidote specimens, along with a few associated minerals, including Quartz. This piece is a sharp, well-formed, somewhat gemmy Japan-law twinned Quartz. One side of the twin is contacted, but the other side is actually multi-terminated, which is unusual for this material in my experience. The final touch to the specimen is that it associated with very dark green Epdiote at the base. A cool U.S. Quartz / Epidote specimen from this classic locality.
