Epidote is a mineral belonging to the sorosilicate group, commonly found in metamorphic rocks. It has the chemical formula Ca2(Al, Fe)3(SiO4)3(OH). Epidote typically forms elongated prismatic crystals and can vary in color from yellow-green to black. It is known for its distinctive pistachio-green color and vitreous luster. Epidote is often associated with minerals like quartz, feldspar, and amphibole.

Epidote has a hardness of 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, making it relatively durable. It is commonly used as a gemstone and in jewelry because of its attractive color and luster. Epidote is also used in manufacturing ceramics and as a minor iron ore.
