Richard Kosnar was a serious collector of Alpine and Alpine-type minerals from around the world. Epidote was one of his favorite species from these Alpine clefts. It has become increasingly more difficult to obtain top specimens from this locality, especially such fine quality specimens like this one. Epidote is one of the most well known of all the Alpine cleft species in the world, and some of the finest Epidote specimens in the world have been coming out of Pakistan in recent years. These specimens are seemingly identical to the classic Alpine specimens from Europe, and in certain instances, have surpassed the European specimens for quality and gemminess. This particular specimen is a superb, multi-terminated, sharp, and lustrous; gem/gemmy, multi-color crystal group with very distinct pleochroism, though there are a few contacts, which is not uncommon for these specimens. Ex. Kosnar Collection.
