Fahner- und Streunkleft, Zinggenstöcke, Verwaltungskreis Interlaken-Oberhasli, Bern, Schweiz
Cleft in Central Aare granite along the ridge connecting the Vorderer and the Hinterer Zinggenstock, discovered and exploited by the "strahlers" K. Fahner and H. Streun in the second half of the 1950s.
The cleft yielded high-quality crystals of very dark smoky quartz, as well as raspberry-red octahedral crystals of fluorite.
