Spessartinvorkommen, Langteichengraben (Lange Teichen), Kalwang, Liesing-Paltental, Steiermark, Österreich
Small boulders and outcrop of magnetite-bearing spessartine-quartzite in phyllitic rocks. Outcrop is located 100 m NE and 30 m above the lowest bridge in the Langteichengraben, about 3 km NNE of Kalwang.
This manganiferous BIF represents the 2 m-thick hanging wall of the sulphide ore-bearing sequence.
