Description

The locality is in the heart of the National Park "Hohe Tauern", field collecting is prohibited, only a few local Strahlers have the permit from the government to dig there. The area is famous for minerals, so during centuries of field-collecting clefts became very rare - it might take years to find just one crystal in this fantastic quality. the crystal is optical, highly lustrous and sharp terminated. All faces show a wonderful texture! No significant damages to report.
