Shimmering green cluster of Epidote from a remote California locality. One side of the Epidote cluster is coated by small clusters of green Mica. Collected decades ago (1987) by Chuck Trantham who valued it at the time at $50. The pictures don't do justice to just how bright and shiny/shimmering this one is when you turn it in hand - the light really bounces off it well! Way better than photos.
