Quartz Double Terminated – Rauris, Salzburg, Austria
 ex-Josef Kolb collection
 
 Water-clear, flawless double-terminated rock crystal of the highest quality from Rauris. The piece  has a crystal shape characteristic of the Rauris and the typical limonite coating.
 The Rauris is known for its diverse rock crystal finds. Almost all deposits are in the core zone of the Hohe Tauern National Park. For several years, collecting minerals here has only been possible with a special permit. Because of this, minerals from the Rauris are rarely offered.
