Description

Epidote and Quartz
Capelinha, Minas Gerais, Brazil
14 x 13 x 6 cm (5.51 x 5.12 x 2.36 in)

Right out of the gate, this specimen catches the eye with an aesthetic presentation created by the near-perpendicular arrangement of two robust and well-formed Epidote crystals, which act as a support for a cluster of smaller crystals across the top of the display. The largest of these Epidote measures a whopping 10.3 centimeters in length. Each crystal is lustrous, accented by a series of well-defined striations, and has a mixture of black and dark green. A scintillating druse of white Quartz points covers the specimen's reverse side, greatly pronouncing each of the Epidote crystals with a starkly contrasting frame. This piece comes with a custom acrylic base.

From the collection of Daniel "Dan" R. Kennedy.

More Information: This piece is in excellent condition with very minor chatter on a couple crystals.
