Locality: Raywoo Mine, Quetta, Balochistan, Pakistan

Size: 4.5 x 4 x 3.5 cm

A double terminated Epidote crystal. Most of the crystal faces are very lustrous,
while several have some sparkly micro titanite crystals that impart the
speckly yellow green you see in places. This is crystalized all around and has a
bright luster that is much better than the average from this find.

Locality: Virginia Crushed Stone Quarry, Loudoun Co., Virginia

This was collected around 1995 by a local collector at a "closed" quarry and
is from a very limited find that represents some of the best Datolite found
in the traprocks in many years. This is a pretty large specimen from the find
as many of the specimens recovered were TN's and small miniatures.
