Epidote is a calcium, aluminium and iron silicate that stands out for its characteristic pistachio green or dark olive green colour. It usually occurs in the form of elongated prismatic crystals or granular masses in metamorphic rocks. It is highly prized for its vitreous lustre and hardness, and is a key mineral for identifying geological alteration processes.
