Epidote (flower form) on phantom Quartz
Hongquizhen Quarry, Meigu County, Liangshan Yi Pref.
Sichuan Province, China
8.3 x 5.4 x 2 CM (cabinet)
price: $100
Early summer 2021
A small but perfect and well-perched flower-like cluster of dark green Epidote rests on a plate of included Quartz. The Quartz crystals have distinct phantoms and zoned inclusions of reddish Hematite which contrasts well with the Epidote. A specimen from the Hongquizhen Quarry found about 15 years ago; we do not see this material now from China, this is in very good condition, and quite lustrous in person.
