Rock crystal with calcite - Rauris, Pinzgau, Salzburg, Austria
 
 High-contrast paragenes of water-clear, highly lustrous rock crystal with calcite. The quartz is recrystallized and the entire piece is flawless. Aesthetic alpine classic from the Rauris Valley. 
 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.
