Rich drusy featuring dozens of green epidote crystals. Epidote is lustrous, resembling bow-ties. Exposed through etching of calcite (some remnants were left on purpose to display the outstanding color contrast). 

Classic, yet lesser known Austrian locality. A good quality miniature from this Alpine paragenesis. Quite pretty!
