A stunning floater epidote crystal, textbook in form, from Prince of Wales Island in Alaska. You could literally use this superb crystal as a model in a class! The conditions on the island where these are mined are so forbidding that you have to really appreciate fine specimens that come from there. They are extremely hard to work for! 3.2 x 2.2 x 1.8 cm
