The colorless crystal has tabular form, uncertain what it is: sanidine or diopside species. It does not appear to be quartz. It is most likely be a rocking forming mineral in the feldspar, diopside, group rather than something more exotic. My knowledge of Austrian mineralogy is limited and I do not have a specific location/quarry/mine for this specimen.
