Hyalite, Limberg bei Sasbach, Kaiserstuhl, Baden (Germany) | |
Hyalite is a common species at several locations in the Kaiserstuhl. At Limberg it forms clear hemispheres and crusts of a few mm on the Calcite and Aragonite covered fissures of the Limburgite. Argagonite- crystals are sometimes covered with a Hyalite layer. Most Hyalite at Limberg has a intensive green fluorescense in SW UV-Light (see below) due to a Uranium content. (Wimmenauer 1959). | |
