Historical Lore

Epidote is a calcium aluminium iron silicate mineral first described in 1801 in France by René Just Haüy. It is commonly found in metamorphic rock formations, including deposits in Austria, Norway, Mexico, and South Africa. It has primarily been used as a mineral specimen in geological collections and is not known to have been widely used in ancient jewellery or decorative arts. Its recognition is mainly within mineralogy and modern lapidary trade, where it is valued for its natural crystal formations and green coloration.
