Dimensions of the specimen:6cm x9cm x 9cm The inclusions on quartz are byssolite crystals.
This is a good example of Epidote's paragenesis in this locality: Fibrous crystals of byssolite, pristmatic crystals of quartz and calcite crystals (this one is difficult to see because the quality of the photo) The legth of the cavity is a bit more than 30cm.
Beatifull Prase crystals with epidote aggregates, the quartz have green color because of byssolite and chlorite inclusions. This specimen is from Samuel Macias collection.
