This area is well known for pseudomorphs of pinite after large andalusite crystals. Unaltered andalusite very rarely occurs here, though. According to the Book "Minerals" by George W. Robinson (Simon&Schuster, 1994, p. 156) "many of these (andalusite) specimens exhibit (X-ray) patterns indicative of kyanite".
Note: The valley, which is a side valley of the Sellrain valley, covers two municipalities.
Located 7.7 km S of Gries im Sellrain at approx. N47.12734 11.14429, elev. 1870 m.
Some discoveries also at N47.12097 E11.14546 and N 47.11459 E11.14627 around the track which leads to Grosses Horntal.
