CHALCEDON – HÜTTENBERG

Dove blue CHALCEDON with BERGKRISTALL xx

These CHALCEDONE are very sought after by collectors, typical mineral, from mining in Hüttenberg. Already the KELTEN and RöMER have mined here, more than 2,000 years ago, the famous NORIAN IRON ORE.

. Mining ceased in 1970. In Hüttenberg more than 50 different minerals were found, of course also great specimens, e.g. COELESTINE, BUNTPYRITE, CALCITE , LöLINGIT ……… and in the oxidation zones of the ore deposits also very beautiful CHALCEDONE, coloured blue by iron ions. Good pieces are unfortunately hard to come by anymore.

This piece with beautiful color weighs 810 g.
