A very brilliant group of epidote crystals with an intense and deep green color. It shows a very rare habit for the species. We can observe psedo-octahedrical forms in one side and a flattened shape generated by a extremely developed frontal pinacoid. To increase its scientific interest we must say that it is magnetic due to magnetite inclusions.
In this specimen we can observe two very well defined anatase crystals, with the shapes of the tetragonal dipyramid truncated at the vertices by pinacoidal faces. The shine is excellent and they have an almost black color but with navy blue reflections when the light hits them. They are arranged in a very aerial way on a rock matrix covered by small tabular b alvite crystals between transparent and translucent and very brilliant.
A very brilliant group of interpenetrated epidote crystals with an intense and deep green color. It shows a very rare habit for the species. We can observe a flattened shape generated by a extremely developed frontal pinacoid. Some small epidote crystals have grown in one face. Good luster. To increase its scientific interest we must say that it is magnetic due to magnetite inclusions.
