Secondary Zn minerals and more or less violet fluorite in limestone ("Arlbergkalk") of the northern slope of Kriegerhorn mountain. The minerals were found in loose scree and in material dumped after construction of small skiing trails.
The mineralised area is about ca. 30 x 70 m in size and bound to a tectonically affected zone (Kolitsch et al., 2019).
