11edd90d - Epidote with Byssolite and Dolomite - $ 7000 SOLD Knappenwand, Pinzgau, Salzburg, Austria small cabinet, 9 x 6.5 x 5.9 cm ex. Dr. Edward David ex. Rolf Wein
This is a visually impressive epidote from the classic old locality, with unusually stoudt and thick crystals. They have lustre like glass! The terminations are remarkably 3-dimensional and stand out dramatically from the matrix which acts as a natural prop to the crystals for display purposes. You can see there is one hairline crack here, a repair. It it were not repaired, this would be a 25k piece for the size and beauty, and the rarity on matrix. So, while there is this problem, the price is definitely adjusted accordingly and you get a piece that LOOKS like it is far more valuable, and certainly has more visual impact period, than you could normally get in this price range.
3D16 - Quartz (Japan Law) included by Epidote - $ 75 SOLD Prince of Wales, Alaska, USA thumbnail, 2 x 1.6 x .4 cm ex. Marilyn Dodge
A good Japan Law is a nice thing to have anytime, but to find on with good luster and included with Epidote makes this a gem in its own right.
3D53 - Epidote (dt) - $ 85 Bellecomb, Chatillon, Aosta Valley, Italy thumbnail, 2.5 x .4 x .4 cm ex. Marilyn Dodge
Sharp doubly-terminated Epidote with good deep-green color and excellent luster. Way above average for the locality, and comparable to most Epidotes from Pakistan these days. As well, this is a doubly-terminated floater and so highly unusual!

Superlative Copper from one of the world’s great localities. The Copper is very well-crystallized, led by a sharp euhedral 1 cm , HOLLOW, crystal. These crystals are intergrown with numerous quality quartz crystals. This is a great thumb!

In addition to being sharp, water clear, and lustrous, the bladed crystal is much larger and thicker than classically seen from Knappenwald. This is a fabulous specimen by any standard!
