Emerald – Habachtal, Pinzgau, Austria

 Emerald crystal with end faces embedded in biotite schist. The crystal stands out due to its good transparency and intense dark green color.
 An extremely aesthetically pleasing collector's item from the Habach valley.
 Emeralds from the Habach Valley are among the absolute classics of the Alps. This is largely because, apart from Norway, there are hardly any other deposits in Europe. Even on an international scale, these intensely green gemstones from the Alps hold their own exceptionally well.
