Haüy defined the mineral species and introduced the name "epidote" in 1801, whereas Werner in 1805 used the term pistacite (quoted from Hintze 1897). Epidote is derived from greek epidosis = to increase, because the base of the rhombohedral prism has one side larger than the other and pistacite refers to its green color (all references for names after Lüschen 1979; Blackburn...
