Excellent specimen from Knappenwand, Austria - world famous mineral locality for fine Epidote. It displays beautiful cluster of Epidote crystals decorated by Calcite and Albite. The Epidote crystals are sharp and perfectly terminated with rich olive-green color. They are lustrous and strongly light reflective. When properly lighted they show marvelous transparency and gemminess. White and well shaped Albite, and Calcite crystals add nice contrast. For references The Mineralogical Record, vol. 17, pp 167-181. In very good condition - some small nicks and contacts. On acrylic base.

Gorgeous!
