green crystal, epidote, olivine?

Ill have to get a photo of the whole rock taken and uploaded, but this shot is from what I believe to be basalt. The rock has mini shallow vugs that are filled with tiny green crystals this one (also tiny) is larger and seems to be a bit darker and shaped differently. Its to small to do any testing on except maybe acid which im not going to bother with at the moment. Thx.

I've said before I am not an expert, but to my eye It looks much more like olivine to me than epidote!

I'm with Zim, though that longish crystal does have the aspect of epidote.

I'll go with Epidote or Clinozoisite, a close cousin. To bad its so small maybe you will strike a lucky vug.

Here is the whole rock.

If I found a hunk of basalt around here, that had all those crystals, I'd be doing some serious looking around that area.
