About This Piece

This ring features a natural Epidote mineral specimen from Turkey, preserved in its raw clustered form.

Epidote is known for its sharply formed crystals, deep green tones, and strong architectural surface. While many people recognize epidote in brighter pistachio-green shades, it can also appear dark green, brownish green, or nearly black depending on iron content, crystal density, and lighting.

Its name comes from the Greek word epidosis, meaning “increase” or “addition,” referring to the way one side of its crystal prism often develops longer than the other. This uneven crystal growth gives epidote a distinctive structure that mineral collectors have long appreciated.

In this piece, the overlapping crystals create a dark, sculptural mineral landscape with glossy faces catching light from different angles. Rather than a polished gemstone, it feels like a small geological formation made wearable — bold, earthy, and full of natural texture.

Stone Meaning

Epidote is often associated with growth, momentum, and amplification. It is believed to strengthen intention, encourage personal development, and support the energy needed to move forward with more focus and determination.

Its dense crystal structure and deep green-black tone give the piece a grounded, steady presence — less delicate, more rooted and resilient.

Details

Stone: Epidote
Origin: Turkey

Formation:
Epidote is a calcium aluminium iron sorosilicate mineral that commonly forms in metamorphic and hydrothermal environments, where heat, pressure, and mineral-rich fluids alter existing rock over time. It typically develops as elongated prismatic crystals with strong surface striations, and can grow as dense clustered aggregates or radiating crystal groups.

Its green colour is largely influenced by iron within the crystal structure, with tones ranging from bright pistachio green to very dark green or nearly black depending on formation conditions and crystal density.

Ring material: Brass with gold-tone finish.
Alternative finishes and sterling silver versions may be available upon request, depending on the design.

Adjustable open band
One size — fits most (approx. US 5.5–10.5)
