Hi,
the Beihilfe specimen probably was once one of those famous blue ones from the 450 m level, unbenannt Spat vein. Many of them bleached out and got this typical greyish green colour with yellowish parts inside the crystals.
The Sauberg specimen could be from the Prinzler vein (if you need to know this).
Cheers
Andreas
