Description

The crystal is water-clear and highly lustrous all around. It shows a combination of plan faces and stepped result of etching - much more impressive in person.A really uncommon crystal from this famous locality in the heart of the National Park "Hohe Tauern". Field collecting is prohibited there, clefts are rare and only a few local field collectors have a permit to dig there. So material is generally very rare and should be high ranked for the locality.
