ERT86AO7: New discovery at Ste. Marie 2022. Curious 'crests' of groups of Epidote crystals with Quartz. We are not aware that this type of Epidote had been found before in Imilchil, which, due to their fan-shaped appearance, are somewhat reminiscent of Prehnite formations. This specimen has been photographed and published as a novelty at the 2022 Sainte-Marie Show in the magazine ‘Lapis‘ number 7-8/2022, page 70, and in the magazine 'Le Règne Minéral' number 166, July-August 2022, page 44
Imilchil area, Anti-Atlas, Er Rachidia Province, Drâa-Tafilalet Region Morocco (2022)
Specimen size: 7.5 × 5.9 × 5 cm = 2.95” × 2.32” × 1.97”
