Epidote from
Messina Mine, Musina, Musina Local Municipality, Vhembe District Municipality, Limpopo, South Africa


Locality type:Mine
Classification
Species:Epidote
Formula:(CaCa)(AlAlFe3+)O[Si2O7][SiO4](OH)
Comments:A common hydrothermal mineral in the ore lodes. They can partially coat the quartz or as isolated lath-like inclusions. It's been observed that light coloured apple-green variety associated with chlorite, calcite and albite is common in the Emery lode (Artonvilla mine). A second occurrence in the lower sections of the lode consists of bright lime-green to yellow-green crystals and have lower refractive index to the apple-green variety although both have been identified by x-ray analyses. Epidote fills vugs or is attached to quartz is usually less than 1cm length. Single crystals can reach over 5cm.
Colour:Emerald-green to yellow-green & lime-green
Abundance at site:Common
Confirmation
Validity:Believed Valid
