Description

A water-clear sharp-terminated group of light smokey quarz from this rare locality - Breitfuss Mountain in Untersulzbach valley. The end-points are powdered with a dark-green layer of chlorite, which helps to give contrast and a great visual impact to this very fine sample. Smokey quarz from Austrian alps is much more rare than from Switzerland, so it should be high ranked for this unusual east-alpine locality.
