The book about our mineralogical excavation and the minerals of the Schyn
The Schyn gorge near Thusis in Grisons has a very special status among mineral collectors of alpine minerals as it is considered one of the sites with the best phantom quartz in Switzerland. There are also few deposits internationally that have yielded such beautiful inclusion quartzes. The multiple phantoms and extremely aesthetic structure make specimens from this deposit so special. A phantom quartz specimen from the Schyn gorge can be immediately assigned to the locality, which further emphasizes the special nature of this occurrence. It is also worth mentioning the excellent finds of the titanium minerals anatase and brookite, which have been recovered time and again.
