FRONT COVER: Photomicrograph of an aggregate of zonedclinozoisite-epidote crystals with 0.40 to 0.56 cations Fe3* per formulaunit from core to rim (crossed polarized light, sample no. 81-370,Min. Collection Techn. Univ. Berlin) from a hydrothermal epidote-quartz vein, Baja California. The picture shows the upper part ofradially grown crystals, which are up to 10 mm long. At the tip theindividual crystal are between = 150 and = 400 um thick. Crystals aremacroscopically pink colored due to a Mn2O3 content of 0.2-0.7 wt%.The outer rim of the crystals as well as crystals grown in an opencrack in the lower part, are macroscopically green epidote with 0.85to 1.04 Fe3* per formula unit, indicating a second growth stage. Thecrystals also show oscillatory zoning (see back cover and chapter 1 byFranz and Liebscher; photos by Irene Preuss; ZELMI at TUB).
