Very spectacular ALPINE TURMALINE specimen with beautiful shiny crystals. We go mineral hunting in this area ourselves and occasionally find some usable specimens, but no more.
This piece comes from the site in the Mischlingsgraben on the Kopralpe in eastern Carinthia, on the border to Styria. 50 years ago, this site yielded great mineral specimens, especially black TURMALINE and this is another one that has resurfaced.
The old crystalline of the Koralpe is about 120 million years old and PEGMATIT outcrops with various crystals can be found here again and again.
BLACK TURMALINE XX in PEGMATITE quartz
Weight of this "Nostalgia" stage: 800 g (o.8 kg)
