Name(s) in local language(s):
Töppenitzgraben (Töpenitzgraben; Töbernitzgraben; Töppenitzbach), Altpölla, Pölla, Waldviertel, Niederösterreich, Österreich
Abandoned quarry in dolomitic marble (as part of the 'Bunte Serie'), WSW of Altpölla.
The other is reached by following the Töppenitzbach (Töppenitz brook) valley to the west.
Known for bi-coloured (green-brown) dravite crystals in voids of marble.
NOTES:
- "Töbernitzgraben" may be a misnomer.
- The "uvite" described by Meixner (1976) is not chemically analysed and probably be a dravite. In fact, new analyses of the original material by Andreas Ertl (pers. comm., 2011) clearly show that the composition corresponds to that of near-endmember dravite.
