La pistachite, ou épidote commune, est la plus courante des épidotes. On la trouve bien cristallisée en longs cristaux [...]. Les faces sont très nombreuses, et les cristaux bien formés, qui ne sont pas rares [...] Les agrégats bacillaires sont la règle; [...] La couleur verte est très caractéristique, variant du vert-pistache au vert-bouteille. [...] éclat nacré; d = 6 [...] C'est un minéral assez fréquent des schistes cristallins et d'altération des roches éruptives feldspathiques sodo-calciques (diorite, gabbro, etc.).
