The mine has been active until these days, where the Steiner family has been irregularly mining the precious stones using just a simple technology. Access to the adit collar is rather difficult requiring good physical conditions. The emerald deposit is located at the tectonic contact of ortho-gneiss and basic to ultrabasic metamorphosed rocks: amphibolite,mica schist, serpentine and talc schist. The most important emerald bearing rocks are biotite-, talc- and actinolite schists occurring at the margins of serpentine bodies. The emeralds mostly appear in the form of automorphic hexagonal columns in a size up to 4\u20135 cm. The emeralds can be found in the Habach valley under the adit where they are transported by water.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/e-sga.org\/fileadmin\/sga\/newsletter\/news34\/SGANews34.pdf\">SGA News no. 34\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first field trip organised by the SGA Student Chapter Prague in 2013 lead to the famous Alpine deposits Habachtal and Knappenwand in Austria.
