Its chemical composition is \u003cstrong\u003eCa₂(Fe³⁺,Al)Al₂[O|OH|SiO₄|Si₂O₇]\u003c\/strong\u003e – iron and aluminum can replace each other to a limited extent, but always remain in a fixed ratio to the other components. Characteristic are the \u003cstrong\u003eprismatic crystals\u003c\/strong\u003e, which are elongated parallel to the [010]-axis and can be distinctly striated, in rare cases reaching lengths of up to 35 cm. The unmistakable \u003cstrong\u003epistachio-green to yellowish-green color\u003c\/strong\u003e is created by the iron content in the crystal lattice – the more iron, the deeper the green. The rough stone offered here impressively displays this characteristic play of colors, complemented by the brilliant transparency of the grown-on clear quartz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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, prismatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e pistachio-green to yellowish-green due to iron content\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccompanying mineral:\u003c\/strong\u003e grown-on clear quartz (quartz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Turkey\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 314 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e natural rough stone, untreated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEnergetic Meaning and Possible Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn holistic crystal lore, epidote is said to help release blockages and sharpen focus on what is essential.

For cleaning, simply wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Direct soaking in water should be avoided, as some accompanying minerals may react more sensitively. For energetic cleansing, many stone enthusiasts recommend briefly smudging with sage or placing the piece on a clear quartz geode.
