November 2023 Polished Stones: Stone of the Day #19

There are a range of green hues in Stone of the Day #19, from a very light green to the pistachio green associated with epidote to a dark gray-green. A number of very fine clear silica veins are also apparent in the close-up images.

Stone #19, Side B.

Its size is 4.5 cm long and 3 cm high. Parts of the stone are still a bit rough and there’s a large chunk that has been knocked out of the stone during the polish tumble, noticeable at the bottom left of Side A. The darker patches in particular have not taken a polish very well.
