| Description |
A fine example of microcrystalline Epidote displaying bright apple green color and complex, interesting crystallization coating the piece. There are visually interesting vugs and crags throughout the piece, giving it a lot of visual interest and little places for the Epidote to grow undisturbed where it can avoid damage from extraction or handling. |
