Description

An other rarity from this famous historic locality. "Blue Salt" is exceptional and was found in low number decades ago - this material never came twice and no new material (not even common colorless halite) can be expected; not from Dürrnberg, neither from any other halite locality in the whole county. This material is unique and should be high valued for rarity!
