This is an incredibly lustrous and transparent epidote crystal cluster. All crystals have perfectly shaped and undamaged terminations, and nice striations along the prism faces. Due to the exceedingly fine transparency the typical pleochroism effect is very well visible! Great aesthetics, quality and condition!

This is an incredibly fine specimen featuring two gwindel crystals in parallel growth. The piece is very slim and well twisted - the angle of the twist measures 45° from bottom to top, that says it all! Great specimen for the connoisseur alpine collector!
