Item Description
The ancient Brixlegg - Schwaz district is the Type Locality for tyrolite and this is a showy and excellent large example from a very obscure area in the district. Gorgeous sprays, to about 7 mm, of lustrous, turquoise-blue tyrolite blades are nicely accented by scattered pods of blue azurite on the sculptural massive quartz matrix. A film of tyrolite and azurite covers the back. A colorful example from this uncommon locale from the Bob Trimingham Collection.
