01974  Quartz and epidote, Green Monster Mine, Prince of Wales Island, Alaska.   This piece has a main doubly terminated quartz crystal which has several smaller attached quartz crystals.  Two thin epidote crystals are present among the smaller quartz crystals.  A healed fragment of an epidote crystal is attached as well.  No damage.   Measures 3.5 x 1.6 x 1cm.  $25.00   Email Chris@christuckerminerals.com to order.

 

 


 

 

Available
01975  Epidote, Green Monster Mine, Prince of Wales Island, Alaska.   Single thick blocky twinned crystal of epidote with minor attached quartz crystals and a platy group of magnetite crystals.  The faces vary from those that are slightly dulled by microcrystals of actinolite to those that are mirror bright.  No damage.   Measures 3.5 x 3 x 2.5cm.  $60.00   Email Chris@christuckerminerals.com to order.



 

 


 

Reserved
01976  Epidote, Green Monster Mine, Prince of Wales Island, Alaska.   Very possibly the finest specimen produced during the 2008 mining season.  The piece has numerous crystals of epidote that are very bright and lustrous and have the classic form for the locality.  Minor colorless quartz crystals are present on the piece as well.  There is a healed scar from where another crystal had once been attached to the piece.  Sadly, a few small crystal had to be reattached to the piece, they are present on the upper left in the first photo; the repaired crystals could easily be removed.   Measures 6 x 5 x 4cm.  $175.00   Email Chris@christuckerminerals.com to order.

 

 

 



 

Available
01977  Epidote, Green Monster Mine, Prince of Wales Island, Alaska.   Slender divergent epidote crystal group with minor scattered damage.  Normally, these divergent groups will have one side with good luster and one side that is dull, this piece has fairly good luster on both the front and back.   Measures 5 x 2 x 1.2cm.  $30.00   Email Chris@christuckerminerals.com to order.

 

 

 



 

 

Reserved
01978  Epidote, Green Monster Mine, Prince of Wales Island, Alaska.   Single thick blocky twinned epidote crystal.  The faces are clean and sharp and several have a mirror like luster.  Generally damage free, although there are scattered contacts (some large) around the base.   Measures 5 x 3 x 3cm.  $85.00   Email Chris@christuckerminerals.com to order.
