This epidote sample showcases a striking pistachio-green hue, enhanced by a glittery, vitreous luster that catches the light across its surface. Beautiful crystal clusters are scattered throughout, forming elongated prismatic shapes typical of its monoclinic structure. The crystals often display fine striations and may be twinned, adding visual complexity.
