A specimen from the third cavern of the famous summit cleft, located in the south slope of Weisseck Mt., only about 50 meters below peak-elevation (2711m). The first photo shows the specimen rotated to the side - so you can see all the different stripes of color - from green-blue, blue to lavender and purple. The second photo shows fron-display with the typical stepped, etched crystals. Photos were done with moderately backlight. Backside was on the rock.
