Schlossberg, Gloggnitz, Lower Austria, Austria

(Schlossberg, Gloggnitz, Niederösterreich, Österreich)

Quarry in riebeckite gneiss (probably a former meta-rhyolite, see Phadke, 1967).

Publication in preparation (Kolitsch, Bernhard & Schachinger, 2009); it will report several new finds and show that the kobeite-(Y) described in the literature was erroneously reported.
