You can see a view of the termination on one end of this lovely piece in the photo below right. The best view of the translucence & color of this lovely crystal is the photo above. Epidote appears as yellowish green to brownish black, it is vitreous and translucent or transparent in appearance. (Indeed, epidote can appear as a black mineral, as seen in our prehnite epidote globes that we carry in the Crystal Gallery.) It is what is known as a 'monoclinic' formation, usually in long & slender, grooved prismatic crystals.  The name Epidote is from the Greek prefix 'epi' meaning 'over' and 'didonai' meaning 'to give' which refers to its appearance in some cases where one side of the crystal is enlarged over the other. Zoisite is in the same group as Epidote. Epidote is occasionally used as a gemstone.Epidote is a very valuable mineral which imparts a deeply calming & centering energy during meditation or energy work & has tremendous influence on our own capacity for self healing. According to Melody, from "Love is in the Earth", epidote is encourages increase in your sphere of focus, dispelling judgement while enhancing perception, personal power and even to use as an elixir to rehydrate and smooth the skin!
