Quartz on Matrix

DI 2-22, March 2003

​

Location:

Zederhaus, Lungau, Salzburg, Austria

​

Description:

Two dominant main crystals on matrix in combination with a second generation of quartz crystals, some calcite, and chlorite. The quartz crystals show razor-sharp edges, the side surfaces show a snowy layer, inter-grown with the top layer. This layer reaches to the edges of the prisms where it ends, as if cut off. The tops are highly lustrous and highly transparent, revealing some phantoms. The main crystals measure up to 5.7 cm. Undamaged.
