A rare, old time example of epidote from North Carolina!!! This specimen consists of a complete, undamaged, doubly-terminated
crystal of epidote!!! In addition to being doubly terminated, the crystal also appears to be twinned along the c-axis!!! The
twinning is much more evident in person as well!!! The crystal has sharp, glassy faces and marked clarity!!! With backlighting, one
can see that this crystal exhibits strong pleochroism - showing distinct greenish color when viewed through the broad face and
brownish color when viewed on edge!!! A fantastic specimen for the locality!!! This specimen retains an old label
that simply notes its locality as North Carolina!!! Rare material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
