Its been a while that i post someting here, but i still love minerals ! But I mainly concentrate one finding fossils, because of that most of my minerals are buyed. In this topic I want to show a very small mineral with a huge value for me Its my first emerald i have ever found (and in this quality the only one) ! I found it 2 years ago in the Habachtal in Austria. It was a very hard work to find this one (and i had a long journey). If you are interested in the location you will find here more information: http://www.langantiques.com/university/Emeralds_from_Habachtal,_Austria Here is my find: I am sorry for the bad picture but i only have a bad digital camera and this one is only 0.2 cm long ! Another picture: Thanks for viewing
