These created a stir when they premiered at Tucson around 2006 or so (if I recall rightly). They are huge, lustrous, deep green epidote crystals which are possessed of stunning symmetry. Few were Doubly terminated and free of damage as is this one. It is a stunning, long, lustrous crystal of this popular mineral, rarely seen in this quality. It turns out that the find was a one-off. No more ever came out after. Credit goes to the tragically deceased exploration geologist Campbell Bridges for bringing these to market. Today, few are available on the market and this was, for quality, one of the best at the time. 234 grams in mass
