In the young forest, just above the tree line, there are some very large EKLOGIT blocks in an area above the Steiner Hütte. In these very rare rocks (see detailed description at EKLOGIT - MINERALS from Carinthia) blue CYANITE (DISTHEN) crystals can also be found with luck. Recently we discovered a transverse quartz vein with several CYANITE CRYSTALS in a block weighing several tons. Unfortunately, with the tools we had with us (geo hammer and chisel) it was not possible to really impress this mighty block. Only this one piece was salvageable, the block is still on the mountain - maybe next year with "heavier equipment" it will reveal some more CYANITE.
Small piece with a freestanding CYANIT crystal with great color.
About the price? Well, we ruined 2 chisels in 2 hours - minus the good air and wonderful view at an altitude of almost 2000 meters = the online price.
Dimensions: 5 x 3 cm, x = 2 cm
