DESCRIPTION:

Rare lot of Deep Olive Green to Dark Brown Epidote Faceting 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 running about 60% Facet Grade with roughly 50% of the lot being Top Facet Rough; however, most of the stones are dark in here. This is great inventory material as you really can't go wrong with this at $1.00 Per Gram. Please note that most of this rough is composed of crystal sections and there are many stones in here that are terminated at one end and may serve as Crystal Specimen as well. 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.
