Regional guide
Strontianite from Oberdorf, Austria
Oberdorf is one of the great European names for strontianite, not because it yielded huge quantities of the species, but because it yielded the kind of crystals that serious collectors remember: lustrous, translucent to gemmy prisms, often appearing pseudo-hexagonal, standing out on white to pale buff carbonate matrix. Fine pieces have a restrained Alpine elegance—creamy, honey-tinted, or nearly colorless crystals on sugary dolomite, calcite, or magnesite rather than the showier fluorite-and-barite associations of some other strontianite localities.
