Epidote grows long slender prismatic crystals with saturated olive green color, though it can be more yellow, brown, or even so saturated it appears black. This specimen has multiple colors, with deep olive green and lighter lime-olive crystals. If you look closely the gray-appearing surface is covered with criss-crossing dark green crystals.

Radial growth forms are typical of the Imilchil region in Morocco. It’s common to find fans and bow-ties of epidote mixed in with individual crystals. This piece displays both well. One side is covered with a forest of upright individual crystals, and the other side has excellent spherical formations. Epidote has a good luster which is apparent with the larger crystals on the specimen.
