Steinbruch am Schlossberg, Schlossberg, Gloggnitz, Industrieviertel, Niederösterreich, Österreich

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

Publication in preparation (Kolitsch, Bernhard & Schachinger, 2007-2011); it will report several new finds and show that the kobeite-(Y) described in the literature was erroneously reported.
