Parascholzite crystals from Hagendorf-South, Upper Palatinate, Germany, Gerd Tremmel collection – small cabinet specimen as unique piece
This small cabinet specimen displays clearly visible Parascholzite crystals from Hagendorf-South, Upper Palatinate, Germany, from the Gerd Tremmel collection. The Parascholzite crystals appear prominently in light to grayish blue areas across the compact matrix, giving the specimen a distinctive and mineralogically expressive appearance. Their crystalline zones create well defined structural accents within the rock and emphasize the characteristic nature of this rare phosphate mineral from Hagendorf. The balanced distribution of the crystals results in a calm yet visually striking overall impression.
Geology & Origin
Hagendorf-South is one of the classic and internationally recognized localities for phosphate minerals in Germany. Parascholzite formed here as a secondary phosphate mineral during late to post-magmatic processes within lithium-rich pegmatites. The deposit is renowned for its exceptional diversity of phosphate minerals and provides important reference specimens for systematic and scientific mineral collections.
