DESCRIPTION:

Rare lot of Olive Green to Yellowish Green Epidote Cabbing & Crystal Rough from the Northern Areas of Pakistan. This rough is seldom available in the market and we were lucky to have it come by us at a bargain! This material is mostly cab and Crystal rough and is priced as such. Most stones in here are well terminated crystals with some having faceting potential though that is not a significant amount. Some of the stones are a bit dark in here but most stones should cut very lovely finished gems should you desire to cut these. This is a super price on this and it is priced to sell so grab it while you can!!

COOL FACTS:
  1. Pakistan has been known to produce Epidote on a sporadic basis. Most Pakistani Epidote from Pakistan is available in long crystal sections and crystal and runs an Olive Green to a Yellowish Green. There have been some cases where Epidote has been mistaken for Zoisite coming from the region and vice versa. Though this is rare it does occasionally happen.
