Epidote on Quartz Matrix Crystal Specimen - 2.5 Inch

Epidote is one of those minerals that collectors tend to find growing right alongside quartz, and this small specimen shows the pairing.

The epidote sits on a quartz matrix, so you get two minerals in one compact piece. It is small enough for a miniature collection, a display box with compartments or a desk where space is tight, and it is a good, approachable entry point for someone just starting to collect minerals rather than polished stones. Seeing a mineral still attached to the quartz it grew with is a big part of what makes a matrix specimen interesting. This exact specimen is the one you get.

Approximate size: 2.5 by 1.5 by 1.5 inches. Check the photo next to the ruler for scale.

About Epidote

Stone Meaning: Epidote is traditionally associated with creativity and prosperity.
