Epidote, old well-formed piece, from the Calumet Iron Mine, Chaffee Co., CO. 1.5"x1"x3/4". Large epidote crystal from this famous
locality, considered one of the best in the U.S. Material from there used to be abundant, but has pretty well petered out at this point, as the mine has not
been worked for years, and access is limited. You can still find a few pieces there, but not many over 1/2". Anything over 1" or so was considered large.
Self collected. $40.00 (Stock # EpiodotCalumet1) Other View: EC1b |

Epidote, Calumet Iron Mine, Chaffee Co., CO, old find. An even larger crystal than above. ~1.5x1"x 7/8". Considered very large for the
locale. Epidote is not black, but crystals are very dark pistachio green that often appear so. It formed in skarn deposits along with sometimes grossular
garnet, corundum (sapphire), calcite, quartz, diopside, and other intesting chrystallized minerals.
Self collected. $45.00 (Stock #EpidoteCalumet2.) |
 |
Small cluster of Pyrite, Quartz, and tennantite(?), from the original and world-famous Sweethome Mine near Alma, CO. Pyrite from there in
some pockets had interesting cubes with truncated edges and corners. This mine was closed in 2004 or so. ~1.5"x1"x.75".
Self collected. $38.00 (Stock #SHMPyrite) Other View: SHMPb |

| Please note: Much effort has been made in the attempt to get as accurate a picture as possible of our gemstones. Please keep the following in mind while shopping: Cameras do not see color exactly the same as the human eye and lighting conditions often cause large variances. When taking pictures for the web, we have found that it is very difficult to capture the brilliance that the human eye sees and photos cannot often show all of the stones' ambiance and jewelry pieces' fine detail. Also computer monitors vary and often color tones are set to suit the viewer's preferences. When shopping, remember that "the pictures are meant as a rough guide only." All our products have a money-back guarantee (see terms above) so there is no risk in ordering from the Buena Vista Gem Works. | |
