Schwarze Wand, Scharnbachgraben, Hollersbach valley, Hohe Tauern Mts, Salzburg, Austria

(Schwarze Wand, Scharnbachgraben, Hollersbachtal, Hohe Tauern, Salzburg, Österreich)

Serpentinite disseminated by metarodingite veins. Minerals occur in vugs in the serpentinite, in clefts in the metarodingites, and also in the host rocks (talc schists and chlorite schists). The clefts, reaching a width of several meters, are often filled by coarse-grained amphibolites and epidotite felses. Dark shales exposed in a place just north of this locality carry muscovite pseudomorphs after andalusite to several cms across.
Located in the upper Scharnbachgraben.
