(Hopffeldboden, Hopffeldgebiet, Obersulzbachtal, Hohe Tauern, Salzburg, Österreich)

Rocksled material, consisting mainly of aplitic gneisses with small miarolitic cavities hosting some rare minerals.

NOTE: Milarite and kainosite-(Y) are not reported from the Hopffeldboden. Their occurrence in this area is restricted to the nearby Hopffeldgraben, which is listed as a separate locality.
