These gemstones contain a mineral called epidote which gives it the distinctive green color while the red is from the piemontite mineral deposits. Both the epidote and piemontite minerals are what connects these stones so strongly to the Heart chakra. It comes in raw form (grainy appearance) or in a polished finish which has a glassy luster.
