Rising with a mountainous arrangement is an Epidote cabinet specimen with a 360-degree view almost fully composed of thin, spectacular Epidote sprays, many of which have a distinct fan shape. The largest of these sprays reaches an impressive 5.4 centimeters in length. The center of the specimen is a very deep green, which transitions into a lighter olive-green and orange towards the tips. The Epidote's glassy luster is enhanced by the fibrous structure of the sprays. Sprinkled throughout the crystalline forest of Epidote are sharply contrasting, brilliant white crystals of Albite, a common and desirable association. This piece comes with a custom acrylic base.
