This Specimen is Green Epidote and Mica, carved and polished into a stunning point. The deep rich coloring of the Epidote partnered with the lustrous flashes of Mica make for a truly phenomenal piece! Epidote is commonly known to be a “Enhancer” crystal, while Mica is usually seen as a focusing crystal. Put together both make a truly wonderful powerhouse!

Mica helps us focus on what is important, stripping away distractions like layers of an onion until all that is left is what really matters. It helps bring in new psychic abilities in a smooth and controllable fashion. Mica often companions high-energy crystals such as Tourmalines, Aquamarines and Topaz. It acts as a protective interface so one does not become overwhelmed by the sheer energy of the higher vibrational crystals it grows with.
In today’s world we are bombarded with irrelevance on an epic scale, especially through media. Mica helps cut through all that to focus us on what is really important, a stone for the “information” age for sure!

Epidote Included Quartz—often simply referred to as Epidote Quartz—is a Quartz crystal that contains natural inclusions of the green mineral Epidote. These inclusions may appear as wispy internal veils, sprays, or moss-like growths within the Quartz, creating a strong visual impression of vitality and movement.
This combination is found in several parts of the world, including Brazil, Pakistan, India, Alaska (USA), and select African localities. Each source produces distinctive inclusion styles, ranging from fine internal filaments to bold, clearly defined Epidote crystals encased within Quartz.
Because Quartz amplifies whatever it contains, Epidote Included Quartz has long been referred to in crystal traditions as “The Enhancer.” The Quartz acts as a magnifier, intensifying the energetic signature of Epidote while also making it more accessible and usable.
Natural Epidote inclusions should not be confused with surface coatings or artificially introduced materials. Authentic Epidote Quartz shows inclusions fully enclosed within the Quartz growth structure.
Epidote Included Quartz is composed primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) with inclusions of Epidote, a calcium aluminum iron silicate mineral. Both minerals form in metamorphic and hydrothermal environments, often under conditions of pressure, heat, and fluid movement.
Epidote inclusions typically form first, with Quartz later growing around them, sealing the green mineral within the crystal. This growth sequence is what gives Epidote Quartz its characteristic “encased” appearance.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Mineral Species | Quartz with Epidote inclusions |
| Chemical Formula | SiO₂ + Ca₂(Al,Fe)₃(SiO₄)₃(OH) |
| Crystal System | Trigonal (Quartz) / Monoclinic (Epidote) |
| Hardness (Mohs Scale) | 7 (Quartz), 6–7 (Epidote) |
| Luster | Vitreous |
| Transparency | Transparent to translucent |
| Defining Feature | Natural green Epidote inclusions |
Inclusion-bearing Quartz crystals are often valued for the way internal minerals interact with the Quartz matrix. In the case of Epidote Quartz, this interaction creates a synergistic structure where amplification and direction occur simultaneously.
⚠️ Handling:
Generally durable, but crystals with prominent internal fractures or fine terminations should be handled gently.
🧼 Cleaning:
Water-safe for brief rinsing. Avoid prolonged soaking, especially for specimens with visible internal fractures. Dry thoroughly.
☀️ Light:
Light-stable under normal conditions.
📦 Storage & Display:
Store separately to protect clarity and surface luster. Suitable for grids, body placement, and regular handling.
