Very significant specimen due to the locality of origin. The Beryl crystals (emerald variety), two of them clearly dominant, have a well-developed prismatic habit, with well-defined faces and edges, terminated, translucent, with a deep and uniform color, embedded in a matrix of biotite schist.
A classic from the Austrian Alps that comes to us from a reputable European collection.
