Michaelstein, Blankenburg, Harz, Sachsen-Anhalt, Deutschland


Near the monastery Michaelstein, not far from Blankenburg, crosses a lamprophyre vein with kersantite the "Klostergrund" (monastery valley) from the east to the west. This kersantite contains several minerals (mostly silicates), that are not present at other places in the Harz.
