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 thumbnail sized piece features a few sharp, well-formed, prismatic, somewhat gemmy Quartz crystals with a distinctive bluish-green color which is caused by inclusions of "Chlorite" or Actinolite. When backlit, the Quartz crystals do pass light, and the color is very eye-catching. A VERY cool U.S. Quartz / Epidote specimen from this classic locality.
