Magnesitlagerstätte, Sattlerkogel, Veitsch, Mitterdorf, Steiermark, Österreich

Abandoned magnesite mine, working magnesite lenses of metasomatic origin included in Carboniferous dolomites. Magnesite and dolomite are crossscut by quartz veins carrying copper sulfides.

Located near Veitsch in the Veitsch valley, a NNW branch of the upper Mürz valley.

Magnesite mining started here in 1881(?) and ceased in 1968. Today (2008), the Fe-rich magnesite is quarried for road gravel, landscaping boulders etc.
