Epidote grows long slender prismatic crystals with saturated olive green color, though it can be more yellow, brown, or even so saturated it appears black. Radial growth forms are typical of the Imilchil region in Morocco. It’s common to find fans and bow-ties of epidote mixed in with individual crystals. The epidote on this piece is largely poorly formed, appearing broken and messy. The radial pattern is still apparent and there are some sections of better-formed growth where you can see the good luster characteristic of epidote.

Small lumpy pieces of magnetite are sprinkled through the epidote and make the specimen heavy. The colorless material is quartz.
