Epidote ps. Orthoclase (Ref: RR-0071)

Rusted Revolver Prospect, Orogrande, Otero County, New Mexico, USA
43mm x 29mm x 22mm
minID: YN2-R6H - This is NOT the product reference. DO NOT QUOTE THIS ON ORDERS.
From an exciting new find: pistachio green pseudomorphs of epidote replacing orthoclase crystals! This specimen features a sharp replacement of Carlsbad law twinned orthoclase. There is significant damage, as well as pitting caused by an intergrowth with albite and incomplete replacement. This specimen shows partial alteration, creating a mottled look. While this type of alteration is not unusual, we are unaware of any other worldwide locality that has produced large, euhedral pseudomorphs like these. Collected by Phil Simmons and Erin Delventhal in November of 2020. XRD analysis of this material has pointed towards an undetermined range within the epidote-clinozoisite solution series, as well as the presence of orthoclase, sanidine, and adularia in samples that were not replaced.
