Epidote and rock crystal from Turkey (256g)

Epidote Mineral and Clear Quartz – a Powerful Natural Duo from Turkey

The Epidote Mineral is one of the most fascinating silicates mineralogically speaking: it crystallizes in the monoclinic system, displays characteristic prismatic, longitudinally striated crystals, and captivates with its unmistakable yellowish-green to deep green color, which it owes to its iron content. This hand-selected one-of-a-kind piece from the mineral-rich mountain regions of Turkey combines an expressive Epidote Mineral with radiant clear quartz on a shared matrix – a true collector's find weighing 256 grams.

Mineralogical Properties of the Epidote Mineral at a Glance

Epidote belongs to the mineral class of silicates and germanates and has the chemical composition Ca₂(Fe³⁺,Al)Al₂[O|OH|SiO₄|Si₂O₇]. The varying iron-aluminum ratio influences both the exact depth of color and the intensity of luster. Typical epidote crystals grow prismatically, are elongated parallel to the [010] axis, and can reach lengths of up to 35 cm in ideal deposits. The Turkish origin of this piece stands for a particularly high-contrast intergrowth: the rich green of the epidote visually stands out powerfully against the glass-clear transparency of the accompanying clear quartz.
