Collectors who like their minerals rough will appreciate this epidote.
The specimen is elongated, about 3 inches long and 1.5 inches in width and depth, and it is left in its natural state on matrix rather than cut or polished. That shape makes it easy to tuck among other specimens or lay on its side in a display tray. Epidote often grows together with quartz, and its typical color range runs from yellowish to pistachio green. It is a hard silicate mineral that handles normal dusting without fuss. For a rock hound, a mineral club member or anyone building a collection of silicate minerals, it is an easy way to add a new species. This exact epidote specimen is the one that ships.
About 3 by 1.5 by 1.5 inches, shown with a ruler in one photo.
