Epidote is a captivating sorosilicate mineral commonly found in metamorphic rocks, with the chemical formula Ca2(Al, Fe)3(SiO4)3(OH). It forms striking, elongated prismatic crystals that range in color from vibrant yellow-green to deep black. Valued for its unique pistachio-green shade and glossy luster, epidote frequently appears alongside minerals like quartz, feldspar, and amphibole, making it a remarkable addition to any mineral collection.
Epidote scores a solid 6 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, so it’s tough enough to keep up with your adventures. Its gorgeous color and shine make it a favorite for sparkling jewelry and gemstones. Plus, this versatile mineral even moonlights in ceramics and chips in as a minor iron ore—talk about multitasking!
