About this specimen

Yunnan epidote with quartz and prehnite at 2.8 cm and 22 g; a miniature. A pale green prehnite ball sitting between clear quartz crystals and a mass of dark green epidote.

Epidote forms pistachio-green prismatic crystals, often striated, and is a classic companion of quartz and feldspar in Chinese skarn deposits.

Good quartz is about hexagonal prisms with clean terminations and the glassy lustre that lets a cluster catch light from every angle. Prehnite forms botryoidal and fan-shaped aggregates of pale green crystals with a waxy lustre; Sichuan produces some of the best.

Yunnan is China's most mineralogically diverse province, source of the pyromorphite, azurite and blue aragonite that have become collector favourites.

Dimensions place it in the miniature range, 2.7 × 2.8 × 2 cm (1.06 × 1.10 × 0.79 in) and 22 g (0.8 oz). The specimen is otherwise sold in the condition shown.
