A rather uncommon association from the Schlatenkees area near Matrei in East Tyrol, Austria, featuring well-developed prehnite crystals accompanied by quartz. The prehnite forms attractive crystal aggregates with a subtle greenish coloration and a slightly matte surface texture that is characteristic of the species. Contrasting beautifully with the prehnite are several lustrous and transparent quartz crystals positioned along the base and one side of the specimen. A distinctive Alpine combination that is only occasionally encountered from this locality.

Damaged specimen will be refunded when I get a photo directly the same day the specimen was delivered. Then we can discuss if the broken specimen needs to e returned to the sender and if still represents a value or if it is a complete loss. Lost parcels need an investigation process from the Post service, which can take up to 4 weeks, as soon the Post service confirms that a parcel is lost we will send full refund.
I accept returns when you are not satisfied. The return / the message that you are not satisfied needs to come in during one week. I also accept exchanges at a simila value under the condition that the invoice for the specimen to exchange was already paid.
