Emerald - Habachtal, Pinzgau, Austria
ex collection Ludwig Fruth, ex. Robert Scheck
Wonderfully build up on this emerald specimen of good quality from the Habach Valley. An unusually richly-occupied specimen made of many crystals rises from the matrix. Some crystals are bent and show the eventful history of this piece. Broken and healed several times, they are sometimes strongly bent. Due to this dynamic, this piece is, in addition to the mineralogical side, also a special one-off in terms of aesthetics.
Emeralds from the Habach Valley are among the absolute alpine classics. Not least because apart from Norway there are no other occurrences in Europe. In an international comparison, the intensely green gemstones from the Alps can keep up easelly.
The piece comes with an old handwritten label.
