A KILLER, doubly terminated, FLOATER epidote crystal from the famous Green Monster Mine on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska. One end of this SUPERB crystal has complex, multiple, smokestack-like terminations, while the other end is a single sharp termination. Several areas on this highly lustrous, dark olive-green beauty are partially gemmy and the couple of broken sidecar crystals are certainly not a detraction. The major terminations are pristine. Accompanied by an old Bideaux Minerals label. Ex. George Elling Collection.
