MR79E9: These were one of the most attractive novelties at the 2004 Munich Show. This large one has perfect crystals and excellent color, with the groups of Epidote that have formed on many of the crystals of Quartz amethyst. The really amazing things are the inclusions within the crystals that include a first generation of intensely red amethyst and small crystals of really strange forms of black Hematite.
The specimen has been published in the book 'China', by Berthold Ottens, on page 513
