Siam is an old name used until 1939 for a country more or less in the borders of todays Thailand. This is a rare historic sample consisting of green epidote (rather then idocrase) and minor quartz hosting a clearly visible gold speck of 2 mm size.

From old Dr. Krantz stock; very probably from Isaac Walker because of the handwriting and the typical small size of the label - thus dated to first half of 19th century.

The Phichit province features several gold mines, epidote is also described and is a good candidate for a more accurate locality.
