Deniska Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Please help me identify this specimen. The crystals are black (although they reflect rainbow light). These crystals are flat and the formation itself is dense. So I think there might be some pyrite in the mix. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Epidote I believe, and a very nice specimen too. Edited February 22, 2014 by adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Au Seeker Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Epidote I believe, and a very nice specimen too. I was thinking the same Epidote.Scroll to the bottom of the linked webpage below for photos.http://www.minerals.net/mineral/epidote.aspxThese two specimens looks very similar to yours.

Deniska Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Epidote seems to like a good candidate. The only thing that puzzles me about my specimen is that the crystals are flat where most Epidote crystals I have seen have more 3D formation.

adam Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Going to stick with epidote. They can be in several crystal habits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
