Alluvial pyrope occurrence/deposit (mined for pyrope).
Located W of Podsedice village (about 10 km southwest of the town of Lovosice), on the 470 m high Vršetín mountain (part of the České středohoří Mts.) between Obřice and Teplá (or "between Třebenice and Měrunice villages").
Mine owned by Granát Turnov Cooperative.

Note: Exact location of two confirmed diamond finds (1869 and 1927) is unknown, but they came from alluvial and eluvial placers between Podsedice and Chrášťany.
