Epidote mineral sample

Description: Epidote mineral sample. This mineral is a sorosilicate that contains calcium, iron and aluminum. Here, it has formed glassy, dark green columnar crystals protruding from an underlying substrate. This mineral was first described and named in 1801 by the French mineralogist Rene Hauy. The type sample was from the Bourg d'Oisans in the Dauphine, France, which is where this 6-centimeter-long sample was obtained.
