Epidote and Chrome Diopside Skardu District, Baltistan, Northern Areas, Pakistan 1.3" x .95" x .67" 3.3cm x 2.4cm x 1.7cm Ex. Wolfgang Pohl Collection #151

Description/Interesting Notes: A magnificent example of epidote and chrome diopside from Pakistan!!! This specimen hosts a pair of glassy, gemmy, epidote crystals on a matrix of deep green chrome diopside crystals and smaller epidote crystals!!! This specimen is pristine and free from damage - and much more colorful than the pics show!!! Simply a gorgeous specimen indeed!!! The pics don't even come close!!! Wolfgang Pohl worked in the mining industry in Namibia in the 70s and 80s and was a prolific collector and dealer during and after this time!!! He would make trips back and forth to his native Germany trading specimens he had acquired in Africa for worldwide specimens!!! Pohl was rather meticulous with his labeling and record keeping with most of the specimens in the collection having catalogue numbers, label with info on locale, source/dealer info, acquisition date, and any other relevant notes!!! However, the most interesting feature is that most of the labels also had a small sketch of the specimen on the reverse side as well!!! I will be listing many exciting specimens from this collection, in addition to the usual and far ranging array of specimens, in the upcoming weeks - so don't miss out!!!
