Epididymite is a hydrous sodium beryllium silicate, polymorphous with eudidymite. Flink (1893) named the mineral by combining the Greek prefix epi, near, in allusion to its dimorphous relationship with eudidymite.
Epididymite forms crystals to 5 mm with albite and microcline. From the collection of E.R. Laskowski (1949-2020), a mining engineer who retired to Tucson, Arizona.
