Description

Detailed Description

This is a group of excellent epidote crystals from the classic American locality for the species. All of these crystals are twinned and the main termination face at the top exhibits a beautiful “chevron” pattern for which the twinned epidote crystals from Prince of Wales Island are famous. The epidote crystals are sharp and have excellent lustre. This crystal group from the Steve Szilard collection is a relatively flat crystal arrangement (incomplete on the back/underside where it was attached) but the crystals are quite blocky. In excellent condition, a couple of minor chips. Great twinned epidote!
