The varying iron-aluminum ratio influences both the exact depth of color and the intensity of luster. Typical epidote crystals grow prismatically, are elongated parallel to the [010] axis, and can reach lengths of up to 35 cm in ideal deposits. The Turkish origin of this piece stands for a particularly high-contrast intergrowth: the rich green of the epidote visually stands out powerfully against the glass-clear transparency of the accompanying clear quartz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMineral class:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silicates and germanates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal system:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monoclinic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChemical formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ca₂(Fe³⁺,Al)Al₂[O|OH|SiO₄|Si₂O₇]\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellowish-green to deep green, due to iron content\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prismatic, longitudinally striated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocality:\u003c\/strong\u003e Turkey\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural intergrowth with clear quartz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpiritual Meaning and Holistic Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the world of healing stones and stone lore, the \u003cstrong\u003eEpidote Mineral\u003c\/strong\u003e is traditionally said to sharpen awareness of personal patterns and help let go of outdated ways of thinking and behaving.
