Kozłowski, Matyszczak (2021):
Mały Śnieżny Kocioł outcrop in the western wall of this Pleistocene glacier
cirque in the Karkonosze Mts main ridge. Mediumgrained biotite monzogranite is the parent rock of the pegmatite and it is also the wall rock of a volcanic vent and breccia zone of an Oligocene basaltoid. Approximately 170 m southward from the vent zone a pegmatite of irregular shape reaching 48 cm in size was found. It was massive without voids and with translucent quartz in the central part which had solid inclusions of epidote, pyrite and fluorite; the latter
formed pale violet subhedral cubic crystals of dimensions from 1.2 to 3.7 mm.
Note: Samples of pegmatites (Kozłowski, Matuszczak 2021) were collected in the years 1968–2006.
