Name(s) in local language(s):
Einberg, Seydegg, Abtenau, Salzburg, Österreich


Outcrops of metapelitic rocks, disseminated by narrow clefts and containing numerous rhombohedral cavities to 1 cm across left by dissolved carbonates. Dark blue "crossite" (= magnesioriebeckite) crystals, sometimes forming star-shaped aggregates, are abundant here. Fibrous "crossite" can be included in quartz crystals, giving them a dark blue colour.

Located on Einberg mountain, 2 km NW of Seydegg and about 6 km NNE of Abtenau.
Often called "Voglau" or "Webing" by collectors.
