Epidote from Tormiq Valley, Pakistan
Tormiq Valley epidote is one of the great modern expressions of the Alpine-cleft style outside Europe: sharp, lustrous, pleochroic crystals from the high Karakoram, often so transparent at the edges that a dark olive prism suddenly flashes golden green under transmitted light. The best pieces are not merely “good for Pakistan”; they stand naturally beside classic Alpine epidotes because of their glassy luster, fine striations, sword-like terminations, and habit of forming clean, sculptural groups rather than massive aggregates.
