Sprays of dark green, lustous epidote form this sharp clusters in a just lovely way.This specimen is a dominant epidote "bow tie" of considerable 4 cm in size. It is accompanied by a second, smaller cluster that is equally perfectly developed. Highly attractive and in very best shape!

Size: 10.1 x 7.6 x 7.5 cm
 
 
 

This is a group of schorl in combination with very nice crystals of quartz and feldspar! The white crystals of feldspar are sitting on the black schorl what makes a very good contrast to this specimen. Over all, it is in a very good condition with just minor damage on some of the smaller side crystals what is very hard visible with the eyes. It is very 3-dimensional in person what is hard to show on pictures. Much better in person!
