Another specimen from the collection of John Ydren: this, an epidote from one of the great classic epidote localities, a notoriously unpleasant place to collect, the cold and forbidding, windswept Prince of Wales Island off Alaska. This dark green crystal is complete all around and undamaged, with a fine termination and good luster.
