Dark green epidote crystals and crystalline aggregates cover parts of the lighter-colored matrix. Under direct lighting, the crystal faces display a distinct vitreous luster.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1963\" data-end=\"2190\">The crystals are predominantly small and form densely arranged groups. Their dark green color contrasts with the matrix. With a length of 6.5 cm, the piece belongs to the small cabinet specimen size category.  <\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1er1sw1\" data-start=\"2192\" data-end=\"2241\">Epidote from the Historic Gr\u00f6nsj\u00f6berget Locality<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2243\" data-end=\"2549\">Gr\u00f6nsj\u00f6berget is a mineral locality in the Borl\u00e4nge area and forms part of the traditional mining region of central Sweden. Epidote is documented from this locality and occurs there together with other minerals associated with metamorphic and contact-metamorphic rocks. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2551\" data-end=\"2839\">According to the previous owner, this specimen was collected from historic mine dumps in the wooded surroundings of the locality. The combination of dark green color, crystal luster, and a historic Swedish locality makes it a characteristic reference specimen from Dalarna. <\/p>\n<div class=\"TyagGW_tableContainer\">\n<div class=\"group TyagGW_tableWrapper flex flex-col-reverse w-fit\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<table class=\"w-fit min-w-(--thread-content-width)\" data-start=\"2841\" data-end=\"3242\">\n<thead data-start=\"2841\" data-end=\"2862\">\n<tr data-start=\"2841\" data-end=\"2862\">\n<th class=\"last:pe-10\" data-start=\"2841\" data-end=\"2851\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Feature <\/th>\n<th class=\"last:pe-10\" data-start=\"2851\" data-end=\"2862\" data-col-size=\"md\">Details<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody data-start=\"2873\" data-end=\"3242\">\n<tr data-start=\"2873\" data-end=\"2893\">\n<td data-start=\"2873\" data-end=\"2883\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Mineral<\/td>\n<td data-start=\"2883\" data-end=\"2893\" data-col-size=\"md\">Epidote<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"2894\" data-end=\"2950\">\n<td data-start=\"2894\" data-end=\"2904\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Locality<\/td>\n<td data-start=\"2904\" data-end=\"2950\" data-col-size=\"md\">Gr\u00f6nsj\u00f6berget, Borl\u00e4nge, Dalarna, Sweden<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"2951\" data-end=\"2987\">\n<td data-start=\"2951\" data-end=\"2965\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Dimensions<\/td>\n<td data-start=\"2965\" data-end=\"2987\" data-col-size=\"md\">6.5 \u00d7 3.5 \u00d7 2.0 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"2988\" data-end=\"3008\">\n<td data-start=\"2988\" data-end=\"2998\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Weight<\/td>\n<td data-start=\"2998\" data-end=\"3008\" data-col-size=\"md\">38.6 g<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3009\" data-end=\"3037\">\n<td data-start=\"3009\" data-end=\"3023\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Specimen Size<\/td>\n<td data-start=\"3023\" data-end=\"3037\" data-col-size=\"md\">Small Cabinet Specimen<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3038\" data-end=\"3060\">\n<td data-start=\"3038\" data-end=\"3046\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Color<\/td>\n<td data-start=\"3046\" data-end=\"3060\" data-col-size=\"md\">Dark green<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3061\" data-end=\"3082\">\n<td data-start=\"3061\" data-end=\"3069\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Luster<\/td>\n<td data-start=\"3069\" data-end=\"3082\" data-col-size=\"md\">Vitreous<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3083\" data-end=\"3161\">\n<td data-start=\"3083\" data-end=\"3098\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Crystal Form<\/td>\n<td data-start=\"3098\" data-end=\"3161\" data-col-size=\"md\">Small epidote crystals and crystalline aggregates on matrix<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3162\" data-end=\"3242\">\n<td data-start=\"3162\" data-end=\"3177\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Special Feature<\/td>\n<td data-start=\"3177\" data-end=\"3242\" data-col-size=\"md\">Mine-dump find from a historic Swedish mineral locality<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This epidote specimen comes from the Gr\u00f6nsj\u00f6berget locality near Borl\u00e4nge in the Swedish province of Dalarna.
