Abstract: Measurements of microhardness anisotropy by Knoop diamond indentations on the prismatic (100) planes of epidote crystals, point group 2/m and space group P21/m, show that microhardness is determined by crystallographic slip on the (100)<001> systems. Microhardness anisotropy is explained in terms of the effective resolved shear stress distribution in these slip systems.
