Epidote Mineral Specimen — Peru

$25.00

Description

These Peruvian epidote specimens feature sharply formed, prismatic crystals in deep forest green to near-black tones. The crystals rise in tight clusters from natural matrix, creating a textured, dimensional surface that catches light across the crystal faces. Many display well-terminated points with subtle internal translucency along thinner edges — a detail that becomes more visible under strong lighting.

Dimensions & Weight

Sizes range from:
1” – 2” in length
30 g – 60 g

(Each specimen is unique in shape and crystal arrangement. You will receive one epidote specimen.)

Metaphysical Properties

Epidote is often associated with growth, renewal, and amplification. It is said to intensify intentions and encourage forward momentum. Its grounding green energy is frequently connected with personal development and steady transformation.

Collector’s Notes

Peru is well known for producing sharp, well-formed epidote crystals with strong luster and clean terminations. The prismatic growth habit and dense clustering seen in these specimens are classic for the locality. Cabinet-sized epidote clusters with good crystal definition remain consistently desirable, especially when the crystals show strong geometry and minimal damage.

These are excellent entry-to-intermediate collector pieces that still carry the sharpness and visual strength appreciated by advanced collectors.

Highlights

  • Deep green to near-black prismatic epidote crystals

  • Sharp terminations and tight crystal clustering

  • Classic Peruvian material

  • Compact, display-friendly size range

  • Each specimen is naturally unique

Mineralogy

Epidote is a calcium aluminum iron sorosilicate mineral commonly formed in metamorphic and hydrothermal environments. Its characteristic elongated prismatic crystals and vitreous luster make it immediately recognizable. The dark green coloration is largely due to iron content, and well-formed clusters such as these reflect stable growth conditions during crystallization.
