Schahn Quarry, Baumholder, Birkenfeld, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

Description

Very nice miniature with cream white phacolite crystals on altered andesite matrix.

The 2005 reactivated Schaan Quarry yielded very good phacolites some years ago - maybe the best in Europe- but collecting is possible only with explicit permission and trespassers will be strongly prosecuted.

This sample is legal, there should be no other sources in the web at this time!!
