Emerald - Habachtal, Pinzgau, Austria
 
 Several emerald crystals with an intense green color in biotite slate. One of the crystals stands out because of its good transparency. Emeralds from the Habach Valley are among the absolute alpine classics. Not least because apart from Norway there are hardly any other occurrences in Europe. Even in an international comparison, the intensely green gemstones from the Alps can keep up easely.
