Description

Epidote is an abundant rock-forming mineral, but one of the secondary origin. Many of the characters of the mineral vary with the amount of iron present. Prismatic, columnar crystals, often shiny, finely striated faces. The color is green, gray, brown or nearly black but usually a characteristic shade of yellowish-green or pistachio green.

Quartz is the second most common mineral in the Earth’s continental crust.  It is mainly composed of Silica or Silica based minerals.  Although Quartz is known by a variety of names, the most important distinction between types of Quartz is that of macro-crystalline, individual crystals visible to the unaided eye, and micro-crystalline, where aggregates of crystals are only visible under high magnification.  There are many forms of Quartz including Chalcedony, Amethyst, Citrine, and Carnelian which are results of mineral impurities or heat treatments.
