Mineral: | Clinozoisite-Epidote Series, Epidote
| Chemical Formula: | Ca2(Al,Fe3+,Cr)3[O|OH|SiO4|Si2O7] | Size: | | Weight: | | Transparence: | | Quantity: | | Origin: | Alchuri (Alchori; Aschudi), Shigar Valley, Skardu District, Baltistan, Northern Areas, Pakistan | This crystal is a kind of ”Faden“ Clinozoisite , you could see a Faden at the lower part of the specimen if the transparency would be better. Definitely you can see the lateral growth with dozens of parallel or angular intergrown single crystals. Apart from a tiny damage, seen in photo 8 at the top right, all crystals a are doubly terminated and free of damage. Great specimen from Pakistan!
