Superb, twinned, and doubly-terminated Epidote. The Epidote has an excellent luster - striated along the sides and terminations but glass-smooth on the main faces. The main faces are also quite gemmy at the surface, which gives the crystal a wonderful green shimmer, while the terminations vividly show the twinning. Ex. Gene Meieran Collection.
