JC13352. Epidote, quartz. Hongxizhen Unnamed Mining Area, Meigu County, Liangshan Yi, Sichuan, China. 8.1 x 4.4 x 4.2 cm 134g $175.00 An attractive association specimen from this fairly well-known locality in Meigu County, Sichuan, China. The piece hosts attractive "spray"-like groups of highly lustrous, deep green colored Epidote, with individual crystals measuring up to 6 mm long, sitting on a matrix of Quartz which range from gem quality and colorless to more translucent with a slight Amethystine quality. The largest Quartz crystal is doubly-terminated and measures 3.7 cm. A few contacts can be seen on the Quartz crystals, but the piece is largely in good shape and displays quite well. These specimens started coming out in the early 2000s, but have since dried up and are much harder to find on the market today. From the collection of Kurt Hefendehl (#32 C) The matrix is not as yellow as the photos would indicate. |

From Charles (Chuck) Trantham collection. Lustrous olive green sprays of epidote are heavily encrusting a matrix of microcline and albite, with partial, incomplete, smoky quartz on the back. The albite crystals are for the most part epitaxial on microcline, although on some specimens the albite has come free of the microcline. An obscure location not widely known outside of California. . |

Imilchil, Errachidia province, Drâa-Tafilalet Region, Morocco. 4 x 5 cm 53g. $25.00 Sprigs of dark green, gemmy, epidote, with bright luster, implanted on the feldspar matrix.

JC10528. Epidote. Tormiq valley, Haramosh mountains, Skardu district, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. 8 x 12 cm 273g. $160.00. These appear to be from the same find as two years ago, and also look like they are from the pocket wall, unlike the earlier specimens which occurred with albite? (some say adularia). Hard to be certain. The Pakistani dealer I got these from was not terribly forthcoming as to the location and only said they are from a find last year or two...rather vague. These are green sprays, with bright luster. A few of them have the identical siliceous material on the terminations as the ones I got last year. This pretty much ties them to the same occurrence. There are some broken sprays on all the specimens I saw. These are the best of the lot I saw at Tucson, and only the one dealer had them. These are quite pretty, and display nicely. From what appears to be a single pocket discovery. |
