Quartz wizh Calcite

DI 2-17, March 2003

​

Location:

Zederhaus, Lungau, Salzburg, Austria

​

Description:

At over 33 cm, this is the largest double-terminated quartz crystal from this find. It was directly under the large matrix specimen DI 2-28. Most likely the matrix specimen fell on this crystal because it was broken in two and had to be repaired. The quartz shows three chlorite-green colored surfaces that are partially covered with a second generation of quartz crystals, small calcites, and chlorite. The other three surfaces show a snowy layer and partially covered with a second generation of quartz crystals and calcites. This layer reaches to the edges of the prisms where it suddenly ends. The tops are highly lustrous and transparent.
