Prime example of a HOCHALPINE Mineral Paragenesis.
MOUNTAIN CRYSTAL, clear and clean - dusted with green-black CHLORITE except for the crystal end faces.
The large crystal cluster stands like a crown on leafy white CALCITE, framed all around by CHLORITE xx on solid mother rock. Between the CALCITE crystal spaces there are many small BERGKRISTALL xx and a 4 cm long BERGKRISTALL has grown laterally on the back of the step.
Extremely authentic HOCHALPIN crystal specimen - found in 1973 on HAFNERKAMM next to SCHOBER EISIG (2,967m) in the HOHEN TAUERN - Carinthia - Austria
Needless to say that normally such steps are NOT available on the market anymore.
Weight of the step : 2.8 kilogram
Dimensions: 22 x 19 x 13 cm xx to 6 cm
A picture shows the underside of the steps.
