This is a completely distinctive minature - this divergent group of epidote crystals from Pampa Blanca features three beautiful twins. The termination faces show the classic "chevron" twin pattern famous on the epidote twins from Prince of Wales Island, Alaska. The terminations are in excellent condition, as are most faces - there are a few minor rubs lower down on the piece if you look for them with a loupe, and there is chipping on the back. The fourth photo shows the back, Although this specimen appears a very dark green in person, there is nice internal play of colour if you are examining it under a good light. Great lustre. If you like epidotes, this is one sweet miniature.
