Description

A truly exceptional specimen from the famous Knappenwand in Salzburg. The matrix consists of pure white adularia crystals, beautifully covered by hundreds—if not thousands—of delicate, needle-like byssolite crystals radiating in all directions. Pieces of this quality are exceedingly rare and highly sought after, as collecting them requires extreme care and precision due to their fragility. A remarkable and classic alpine specimen of outstanding aesthetic appeal.
