The crystal-hunter Franz von Arx confirmed the discovery which was announced by several news media. The size, colours, purity and beauty of this crystal are amazing. It was found in a heretofore unexplored crevice.
Franz von Arx and his colleague Elio Müller found the giant crystal on September 19. It will be exposed in Flüelen, canton Uri, among other crystals.
In 2005, Franz von Arx had already discovered a giant crystal on that same mountain, at an altitude of 2,600 meters and at a depth of 32 meters. The size and purity of the smoked quartz crystal were then qualified as exceptional.
