High Quality Black Epidote - Fine Mineral Specimen
Black epidote crystals densely cover the matrix, creating a dark, reflective surface that shifts dramatically as light moves across it. It harmonizes with the light in that way only crystals can.
Small areas of green epidote appear intermittently within the black crystal field, offering gentle contrast rather than a focal point. These inclusions feel incidental and natural, reinforcing the fact that this piece was shaped by natural process rather than human composition.
Dimensions & Weight
Dimensions: 2.25” × 2” × 0.25”
Weight: 60 g
Collector’s Notes
Black epidote specimens like this are valued for surface texture and crystal density. This piece offers consistent coverage across a naturally thin host, with no single focal point competing for attention. Its appeal lies in repetition, making it especially suited for collectors who appreciate the natural geometry of crystal form.
Highlights
Dense black epidote crystal coverage
Excellent crystal formation
High reflectivity across the surface
Strong textural character with minimal matrix distraction
Metaphysical Properties
Black epidote is often associated with grounding, release, and quiet transformation. It is thought to support letting go of patterns that no longer serve, encouraging steady change rather than sudden shifts.
Mineralogy
Epidote is a calcium aluminum iron silicate that forms in metamorphic and hydrothermal environments. Black epidote varieties owe their color to iron-rich chemistry and typically develop as densely packed, elongated crystals. Specimens with uniform surface coverage are especially appreciated for their clarity of growth and tactile presence.
