This species is one of the most well known of all the Alpine cleft minerals in the world, and Pakistan has been producing some of the finest Epidote specimens in the world over the last 15 years. These specimens are seemingly identical to the classic Alpine specimens from Europe, and in certain instances, have surpassed the European specimens for quality and gemminess. This piece is a fine, doubly-terminated, sharp, lustrous, gem/gemmy, golden-green color crystal group with distinct pleochroism (green when viewing the "a" face and golden-brown when viewing from the "b" face) .
