Smoky Quartz Aiguille du Moine, Mont-Blanc massif, France 127mm x 61mm x 53mm Large smoky quartz crystal recovered from the back of a cleft in an old crystal cave, on the south face. Though a little bashed on one face, the crystal is rather intact, with good lustre on four side faces (chlorite on the other two faces), and good lustre on the six pyramidal faces. The crystal is a very deep brown colour with good transparency, though with lots of internal flaws. Collected 1991. (Author: Mike Wood)

Some Austrian localities (as Nassereith, Imst or Bleiberg) are known for wulfenites. However, the wulfies are found on the Bavarian side of the border too. A once famous locality was the Höllental molybdene mine near Garmisch-Partenkirchen. During Second World War the mine was taken up again for a short time. I never saw a real good Höllental sample (not on pictures, not in person...) but it is told that these wulfenites were as good as the Austrian ones from Bleiberg, Carinthia. The only sample I ever saw (thanks to ebay) is now in my collection. I think this specimen is just a reference (crystals up to 5 mm), but it gives a suspicion of the Höllental wulfenite´s quality... but you wouldn´t pick up something like this if it´s labelled with Mexiko or Arizona.
