The Story of This Crystal
This crystal comes from a crevice in a large vertical quartz vein within the Bündnerschiefer (Bündner schist). Most of the crystals from this crevice were coated with this kind of iron layer, which gave them their "limonite coloring." Check out the linked video to see us crystal hunting at Piz Beverin.
