Analcime and apophyllite

The analcime crystals on the Seiser Alm plateau found in the pillow lavas are world famous. This layer of the Frommer Lahn, which descends from the Seiser Alm plateau towards Seis, boasts an enormous, pink and white analcime crystal set in apophyllite. The 66-cm-wide layer, found in a huge hollow in 1966, was too heavy to be carried in a rucksack, which explains why the collector, Alfons Moroder, needed help retrieving it.
