Documented Find
Shiny Rock crystal
Rock crystal with a beautiful shine. During its growth, small minerals became enclosed within the crystal. They look as though they are floating around inside it. The crystal stands beautifully on display and, especially in natural light, comes into its own perfectly.

The Story of This Crystal
We found this crystal on a spring trip in Upper Valais (Oberwallis). Reaching the spot required a very steep climb over slippery terrain. A narrow constriction in the rock and a large quartz vein showed us the way. Check out the linked Instagram video for more insights.
