What it is

These are stones close to how they come out of the ground: rough pieces, clusters of points growing together, geodes split open to show the crystals inside, and specimens of a single mineral. Some are coated, dyed or man made, and we say so on each page.

Why people choose it

  • The shape it grew No cutting or polishing, so every piece is different.
  • A piece for the room A geode or a cluster holds a corner of a shelf on its own.
  • Several pieces in one Rough bags and specimen sets give you many stones to arrange.
  • Told as it is Natural, dyed, coated or man made is stated on every page.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Place a cluster or a geode where daylight reaches it

  2. 2

    Keep rough pieces in a bowl, or lay them around a candle or a plant

  3. 3

    Turn a specimen now and then to see a new face

Care: Dust with a soft dry brush. Points and edges break easily, so lift the piece by its base. Keep coated and dyed pieces out of water and strong sun to protect the finish.

Geological Context

Epidote is a calcium aluminium iron sorosilicate mineral, often found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. This specimen likely formed under conditions of moderate to high temperature and pressure, typical of its geological environment. The mineral's distinctive green colour is due to the presence of iron within its crystal structure.
