Blue aragonite from the Austrian Alps is a highly desired variety and usually is found at the famous Styrian Erzberg. Even rarer is this specimen form Brixlegg, famous for silver and copper minerals like azurite or malachite. It is a very showy piece with unusual botryoidal structure and fine cyan-blue color. Very attractive and rare from this locale!
