Name(s) in local language(s):

Hocheck, Eibegggraben, St. Jakob-Breitenau, Fischbacher Alpen, Steiermark, Österreich

Redlich (1931) names also an iron mine (on limonite) on the Hocheck (alt. 750 m, located NW of St. Jakob-Breitenau) and a manganese mine (Tatzlstollen).
Some of the minerals listed (pyrrhotite, pyrite, siderite, clinochlore, quartz, calcite) are from the chlorite schist country rock of this iron mineralisation.

Datolite, galena and hydroxylapophyllite occur in amphibolite boulders.

Note: Coordinates are those of Hocheck peak.
