Quartz and Epidote

Razor-sharp quartz prisms in parallel growth rising out of a base of green epidote and smaller accenting quartz crystals. The epidote ranges from a vibrant yellow-green, to a darker, saturated forest green. Small, light green epidote crystals sit on one face of the larger quartzes. Recently, epidote & quartz specimens out of Turkey have gained popularity as "fairy forest epidote & quartz." This excellent specimen out of the Hongxizhen Mineral Prospect in Sichuan, China, offers the luster and color that popularized this striking mineral combo, while featuring more striking sculptural appeal than many specimens available on the market. An appealing specimen for the collector interested in representing this mineral combo in their cabinet, with a focus on high aesthetic appeal as well as less common localities!
