Description

Famous classic locality in Alps! The crystals show the typical intense green phantoms - Schin gorge is famous for this phantoms and inclusions. The crystals are sharp terminated and lustrous, all of them freestanding and growing in all directions. The tridimensional assemble is hard to capture with the camera and so I have to note that it looks much better in person.
