It has become increasingly difficult to obtain top specimens from this locality, especially such attractive specimens like this one. Epidote is one of the most well known of all the Alpine cleft species in the world, and some of the finest Epidote specimens in the world have been coming out of Pakistan in recent years. These specimens are seemingly identical to the classic Alpine specimens from Europe, and in certain instances, have surpassed the European specimens for quality and gemminess. This particular specimen is a superb, sharp, lustrous, gem/gemmy, STRONGLY PLEOCHROIC crystal group which shows an intense CHROME GREEN color in one direction and changes to a golden olive oil color when turned 45 degrees.
