Metamorphic Rocks and Minerals

Epidote on grossular is a classic mineral pairing found in contact metamorphic rocks, where heat and fluid activity create visually striking and scientifically significant combinations. Grossular, a calcium aluminum garnet, forms the host matrix, while green epidote crystals often grow across its surface. This assemblage is well represented in the Coyote Front Range of Inyo County, California, where the contrasting crystal habits and colors make for specimens prized by mineral collectors and petrologists alike.
