Two men from canton Uri discovered a giant crystal in the Plaggenstock mountain in Switzerland. It is bigger and more beautiful than the one discovered in 2005 on the same mountain, which was then called the discovery of the century.The crystal-hunter Franz von Arx confirmed the discovery which was announced by several news media. The size, colours, purity and beauty of this crystal are amazing. It was found in a heretofore unexplored crevice.
Franz von Arx and his colleague Elio Müller found the giant crystal on September 19. It will be exposed in Flüelen, canton Uri, among other crystals.
In 2005, Franz von Arx had already discovered a giant crystal on that same mountain, at an altitude of 2,600 meters and at a depth of 32 meters. The size and purity of the smoked quartz crystal were then qualified as exceptional.

the thing is they could have put a trail up the mountain and they would have made a killing with tourism
hell i would climb a mountain to see the biggest crystal
and if it had stayed up there it would be a lot harder to steal than it wold in a museum - 1 year ago

The camera was very close to the crystal, the young man quite a bit behind it, and the angle of the camera with regard to the subject gives the impression that the crystal is huge. It's a kind of optical illusion. For example, if the young man was holding his arm stretched towards the camera with his hand bent upwards, his hand would appear much larger than his head.
