Description

One really famous Austrian classic. Oberzeiring is defunct since decades, and even in the past it never produced much quantity. This particular specimen is not just a sample. It is very well formed, very aesthetic and represents this locality in the best way. The crystals show sharp white zoning along the edges. Under daylight the crystals show steel-blue to grey color. This material is very hard to obatin, even more difficult to get one in this size and quality. In excellent condition damage-wise.
